Ceist:

217 Mr. Currie asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications the number of occasions on which he has visited Northern Ireland since the Government was formed; the date, venue and purpose of each visit; and the same information in relation to the Minister or Ministers of State, if any, at his Department.

Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications (Mr. Cowen)

Since the Government was formed, I visited Northern Ireland once to mark the official opening of the Shannon/Erne Waterway at Corraguil Lock, Teemore, County Fermanagh on 23 May, 1994.

The Minister of State at my Department has not visited Northern Ireland during the period in question.
