In the discharge of my official duties as Minister for Foreign Affairs I have travelled on the Government jet to four commitments since 1 January 1995, twice to EU ministerial meetings and twice to Anglo-Irish ministerial meetings. I attach a tabular statement setting out the details requested by the Deputy.
The Minister of State for European Affairs accompanied me to the two EU ministerial meetings. The Minister of State for Overseas Development Aid accompanied me to one EU ministerial meeting. These were the only occasions the Minister of State at my Department used the Government jet during the period.
