The National Treasury Management Agency is undertaking its first investor road-show since Ireland's EU/IMF bailout.
NTMA chief executive John Corrigan, head of debt management and fundraising Oliver Whelan, chief economist Rossa White and others are beginning a series of meetings with existing and potential investors overseas.
The first series of visits is to China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.
Other trips between now and the end of June include a European tour to London, Frankfurt and Paris, and East and West coast USA.
The aim is stay in personal contact with investors or potential investors, even though Ireland is not going back to the markets until the second half of next year at the earliest.
'Investors need to hear first-hand of progress in addressing banking issues, the national accounts and competitiveness', said a spokesperson for the NTMA.
