Go raibh maith agat. Cuirim fáilte roimh an Taoiseach. On Vote 2 for his Department, there is a small increase in travel and subsistence. Some of the Taoiseach's travel made it into the media recently. He has returned from a trip to Japan and he rebooked that trip home through Toronto. It is suggested that was on the basis of security advice. If that is the case, will he explain why he did not share the security advice with any of the media corps who were travelling? Were there no issues with their security?
