Due to the fact that my Department changed its financial management system within the last five years, the information requested by the Deputy is readily available only from the beginning of 2004. The table below sets out the amount paid to staff of my Department and its Offices in respect of travel, subsistence and related payments for each of the years 2004 to 2007 inclusive. The figures include payments made to a small number of non-civil servants (e.g. Ministerial Advisors) who were employed by my Department during the years in question. It is not feasible to separate out payments made to these staff.
