The scope for more economic links and trade between our two Countries is enormous and I am determined that we make every opportunity to avail of these. This aligns perfectly with the implementation of the Government Action Plan on Market Diversification to support opportunities for Irish business around the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no doubt that there is so much more than we can do in this relationship.
