42 firms on international trade mission

Minister for International Trade John McGuinness is today leading 42 Irish companies on an Enterprise Ireland trade mission to Brazil and Mexico.

The aim of the mission is to enhance economic links between Ireland and the two Latin American countries.

Minister McGuinness said: "Brazil and Mexico represent the two largest economies in Latin America and present vast export growth opportunities that can be matched by Ireland’s supply capabilities in several sectors including telecommunications, financial services, educational services, agricultural equipment and food processing technologies."
