I am looking at the correspondence. I am referencing from the e-mail trail on 16 August. There seems to be a view within those e-mails that St. Patrick's Day trips could be paid for, if was deemed appropriate, but on trade missions one should not bring one's spouse regardless of whether one paid for them. I think the Taoiseach of the day had a degree of discretion. I am wondering which category the London trip would have fallen into? If his spouse was paid for to go on the trip, it was not a St. Patrick's Day trip.
