Eamon Gilmore
Question:277 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands the total expenditure incurred by her Department for each of the past five years on flights on Ryanair aircraft. [4935/98]
Written Answers - Departmental Expenditure.
It is not possible to provide precise figures of the expenditures in question, without making a detailed examination of expenditure documentation which would be a major administrative task. However, a preliminary examination suggests that expenditure by my Department over the last five years did not exceed £1,000 in total.
Enda Kenny
