Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We benefit in terms of advertising, access and media exposure. That is why the trips are very important. I have held the view and I said it in this House when I was here before that Minister should come back and present a report to the committees or to the Houses of the Oireachtas to show what actually happened.

Senator McDowell has been on those trips. They are far from a junket as he knows quite well.
