Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 December 2017
94. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the expenditure by his Department by heading (details supplied) in each of the years since June 1997 to January 2011, in tabular form; and the miscellaneous expenditure not relating to set Department budgets pertaining to the headings. [52223/17]
View answerThe records sought by the Deputy relate to a very wide range of expenditure areas and to a very lengthy period, beginning over twenty years ago and running to almost seven years ago. In that context, the bulk of the records in question are no longer available and could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost to my Department and the Exchequer.
