View answerI travelled to Brazil to attend the Olympic Games from 14th August and returned on 18th August. I was accompanied by one official who attended from 4th August 2016 and returned also on 18th August. Details of my travel costs are published on my Department's website www.dttas.ie and are also included in the following table. The total flight and accommodation costs incurred for both the Departmental official and myself are set out in the table. The hotel was block booked for the duration of the Olympics and the costs below include a proportion for unused accommodation due to an earlier than anticipated return due to the circumstances at that time.
