Wisconsin-Ireland Trade Commission
This week I testified on a bill I authored, Assembly Bill 548, that would create a Wisconsin-Ireland Trade Commission between the State of Wisconsin and the Republic of Ireland.
The Commission will have seven members:Â two senators appointed by the president of the senate, two representatives from the assembly appointed by the speaker of the assembly, and three members nominated by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate.
The mission of the Commission will be to promote and advance mutual economic interests between Wisconsin and the Republic of Ireland.

The best way to experience the beauty and grandeur of Wisconsin’s Capitol building (located at 2 East Main Street, Madison, WI 53702) is to see it for yourself. It is open to the public weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and weekends and holidays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Free tours are offered daily, year round except on the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas. Tours start at the information desk Monday through Saturday at 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 a.m. and 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 p.m.; and Sundays at 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 p.m. A 4:00 p.m. tour is offered weekdays (Monday – Friday), excluding holidays, during Memorial Day through Labor Day. Plan on spending 45-55 minutes for a tour. The sixth floor museum and observation deck are open during the summer months. Groups of ten or more can make an on-line reservation for a tour of the State Capitol or call (608)266-0382.
