Ceisteanna (733)

Derek Nolan

Ceist:

733. Deputy Derek Nolan asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he is confident that all overseas travel undertaken by staff in State agencies is necessary; if the agencies ensure a robust business case is submitted before travel is sanctioned; if the agencies ensures the objective of the travel cannot be achieved through other means; if, on their return, the staff have to submit a report on the work carried out while they were on agency business overseas; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I wish to advise the Deputy that the information he has requested is an operational matter for the individual Bodies and Regulators concerned. All agencies have been kept up to date on public sector travel and subsistence policies and are aware of the need to minimise their operational expenses on an ongoing basis.
