278 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if his Department maintain a record of visits by him to the headquarters of his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35543/07]

Written answers

Minister for Foreign Affairs (Deputy Dermot Ahern)

I have an office in the Headquarters of my Department, Iveagh House, and use that office, and other meeting and reception rooms in that building, for official business on an ongoing basis. It simply would not make sense for my Department to maintain a record of my attendance in my own office. In addition, related to Oireachtas business, I also work from an office in Leinster House.
