In relation to travel to and from the all party talks in Belfast, the travelling party usually includes in addition to the officials mentioned above, officials from the Departments of the Taoiseach and Foreign Affairs and quite often includes the Tánaiste, the Attorney General and perhaps another Minister.
* The costs shown for each visit are based on the travel and subsistence costs which have been brought to account in the Department of Justice to date. It can be some time before invoices or other bills are received and brought to account. The figures shown will, therefore, fall to be adjusted when accounts have been completed. Where a nil cost is shown for travel, the Government jet was used.
