Vol. 434 No. 3
16 Ms Keogh asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs the number of trips overseas that he has made on Government business.
32 Mr. Allen asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs the number of visits he has made abroad since taking up office; the destination, date and duration of these visits; the purpose of these visits; the number of officials and others who accompanied him; the airline used on each visit; and the overall cost of each visit.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 16 and 32 together. Since my appointment as Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs I have made 18 official trips overseas.
