View answerThe total amount spent on entertainment for official business purposes by my office and the offices of the Ministers of State in my Department since the appointment of the new Government are set out in the table. The table also sets out the entertainment costs incurred by the Management Advisory Committee of my Department during 2011. A sum of €1,026.51 included in my official entertainment costs were the costs associated with the State visit of His Serene Highness Prince Albert of Monaco to Ireland in April 2011.
