I propose to take Questions Nos. 55 and 56 together.
The core functions of my Department are predominantly concerned with international political and security policy, advancing reconciliation and cooperation on the island of Ireland, representing Ireland at the EU level, and promoting Ireland’s economic and trade interests in Europe and internationally.
The Deputy will find details of use of the Ministerial Air Transport Service on the Department of Defence website at http://www.defence.ie/WebSite.nsf/Document+ID/FFF14F42B7DA240280257632003D5C94?OpenDocument
