Question 387: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if his Department has a policy with regard to frequent flyer points accrued by Ministers or civil servants; if these must be signed over to his Department or if they can be retained by the individual concerned; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

It is my Department's policy that frequent flyer points may not influence decisions taken in relation to the carriers used for official business. However, in recognition of the fact that official travel is disruptive to personal and family life, my Department allows any benefits that are received under frequent flier schemes in the course of official travel to be retained.
