92 Mr. J. O'Keeffe asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the projected cost arising from the Government decision to host the first European competitiveness summit of the World Economic Forum in Dublin in October 2003. [6806/03]
In the absence of detailed information regarding the number of delegates attending, venues and hotels to be used in connection with the European competitiveness summit, it is difficult to provide a definitive estimate as to the costs. However, the main direct costs will relate to the cost to the State of hosting a gala dinner for summit participants and security costs outside the summit venue.
