The cost of all official travel is paid out of monies provided by the Oireachtas and approved in the Estimates process. Details of proposed expenditure under this subhead were given at the relevant Estimates meeting of the Joint Committee on Arts, Sport, Tourism, Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. It is expected that the expenditure under the subhead in question will fall within the approved budget.

The information sought by the Deputy in relation to the cost and frequency per month of official travel by means of bus, rail or air transport is set out in the Tables. It may be noted that in relation to certain trips the cost does not fall to be met from within my Department's Vote.
