Written answers

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science

Due to my dual Ministerial responsibilities, costs incurred for my St. Patrick's Day trip were shared by my two Departments.

The Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science does not yet hold a complete record of information requested in a readily accessible format. Once available the information will be forwarded to the Deputy.
