The amounts paid in respect of travel and subsistence by my Department for the period January to September for each of the years 2006 and 2007 were €0.6m and €0.649m respectively. The increase in the amount paid in 2007 over 2006 was due to increased rates of travel and subsistence and an increase in the number of travel claims processed in 2007 over the same period in 2006.
