I travelled to Australia for the St. Patrick's day celebrations. My official party comprised my private secretary and I. The visit lasted seven days, from Saturday 12 March to Friday 18 March 2005 inclusive. Not all costs for this visit have been submitted or approved, so it is not possible at this point to provide a final cost. The costs which have been approved to date amount to €8,998.83 including all flight and hotel costs.
