In each case the payments were incurred in support of events promoting the policy objectives of my Department.

The Irish Traveller Ethnicity Celebration was a free event open to all, and attended by an estimated 2000 people, which was organised to mark the State's recognition of Traveller identity. Costs included venue hire of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham and costs associated with rescheduling the event because of Storm Emma, Programme and Production costs including event management, PR, website, signage, workshops, stalls, catering etc.
