A total of €12.6 million was spent on travel and subsistence in my Department in the first nine months of 2007 compared with €11.9 million in the corresponding period in 2006. The higher level of expenditure in 2007 is mainly attributable to increased activities in home travel arising in areas such as the Farm Waste Management Scheme and animal/public health disease controls.
