Based on 2016 expenditure to the end of May, it is estimated that applying a 10% reduction in my Department's travel expenditure would reduce the amount to be paid in 2017 by approximately €16,000.

Payments in respect of my Department's travel budget are made for travel necessarily incurred on official business and in accordance with Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (DPER) regulations.
