The Department of Finance guidelines on foreign travel are made available to all staff in my Department and certification of any claim for payment is contingent on it being in compliance with these guidelines. My Department has recently re-circulated these guidelines to the non-commercial agencies under my remit requesting a report on the matter of their implementation. The guidelines will shortly be circulated to commercial bodies operating under the aegis of the Department on the same basis.
