| 1 Figures are based on travel and subsistence costs paid by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment since 7 May 2008, including air travel costs paid in respect of the Tanaiste and staff of her offices. The figures also include some payments in respect of charges incurred prior to 7 May in respect of the offices of the previous Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment. It is not feasible, in the time available, to identify these costs separately. |
