Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment

Under Section 15 of the Ethics in Public Office Act (1995) gifts presented to office holders valued in excess of €650 are deemed to be gifts to the State and must be recorded accordingly following valuation through the Office of Public Works. I did not receive any gifts worth more than €650 from visiting dignitaries.
