As the required information—relating to official visits abroad by Ministers—is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:

Points of embarkation (E) and disembarkation (D) |

Is the tabular statement so long that it cannot be read?

I am, yes.
That is what Fine Gael have always been doing—embarking and disembarking.
I hope none of them embarked or disembarked to break the foot and mouth regulations.
