Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Deputy Peter Burke)

I am informed that the IDA does not use business development consultants in the US or Australia. IDA has a network of 8 offices in the US and one office in Sydney, Australia. Each office has its own team of overseas executives who manage client and investor relationships.
