I accept what Deputy Donohoe stated. The Vice Chairman asked about the London trip and I have made efforts to get the detail because I do not want to close without it. I asked two questions. I asked how a freedom of information request operates. Section 29 of the Freedom of Information Act provides for consultation with individuals where personal information has been requested. However, details of official trips are not regarded as personal information. I do not have good recollection of the London trip. It was on 14 and 15 November 2008 and involved a function in London. The Secretary General will follow up with the relevant details. It appears I deputised for a Minister.
