Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 June 2005
391 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the most up-to-date information on his travels abroad for the St Patrick’s Day celebrations; the persons who travelled with him in his official party; the duration of the visit; and the total cost. [19189/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs I stated in a previous reply on 12 April last, I travelled to London to participate in the St. Patrick's Day celebrations from Saturday, 12 March to Sunday, 13 March. I was accompanied on this trip by my special adviser, my private secretary and my wife. While the Department has yet to be invoiced for all the costs associated with the visit to London, I understand the total cost of the visit, including flights, local transport, accommodation and other expenses, is estimated at approximately €7,000.
