Mr Gilmore said the Coalition was taking advantage of the great opportunity to promote Ireland around the national festival.
And Jobs Minister Richard Bruton said they would be keeping costs low: "We are keeping the size of the delegations down to a minimum. We are not flying first class or anything like that."
