Costs in relation to maintaining our embassies and diplomatic missions abroad are given in the Book of Estimates for the Public Services for the year 1982 in pages 182 and 183 in respect of expenditure from the Vote for Foreign Affairs and in pages 28 and 29 in respect of expenditure from the Vote for Public Works and Buildings.
I appreciate that the overall costs are included in the Book of Estimates, but I suspect that what Deputy Deasy is looking for and what I would like to see is the individual cost of maintaining our embassies and diplomatic missions abroad. Could I ask the Minister to circulate to the Deputies the breakdown of the costs?
The details that Deputy Quinn is looking for are outlined in the Book of Estimates. Each embassy is covered individually so the information is there.
