Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 October 2022
745. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of domestic flights for work purposes taken by him, Ministers of State in his Department and Department staff for each of the years 2019 to 2021 and to date in 2022, in tabular form. [47907/22]
View answerI can confirm that neither I nor any Minister of State or any of the staff in my Department have taken domestic flights for work purposes during my term in office. My predecessor and his advisor used domestic flights on two occasions in 2019 as part of a return journey from two Foreign Trade missions.
The table shows details of these flights.
