The total amount spent by my Department on foreign travel for the period 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008 was €693,690.40. I have detailed below the amounts spent by myself and the Ministers of State during this time:
| Minister | |
| Minister Brendan Smith | €2,938.75 (from May 2008) |
| Minister Trevor Sargent | €7,565.97 (from Jan to Dec 2008) |
| Minister Tony Killeen | €2,185.34 (from May 2008) |
| Minister Mary Coughlan | €5,724.12 (up to May 2008) |
| Minister Mary Wallace | €5,887.46 (up to May 2008) |
| Minister John Browne | €5,690.37 (up to May 2008) |
The figures above represent the Foreign Travel booked and paid by the Air Travel Desk in my Department.
Expenditure on foreign travel by Bodies under the aegis of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food is a matter for the Bodies themselves as part of their day-to-day activities.
