Question 176: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the agencies, offices and bodies within the remit of his Department in respect of which details of foreign travel for 2008 were sought and not furnished in to a reply to a Parliamentary Question of 27 January 2009. [6410/09]

I refer the Deputy to my answer of 27 January. As I indicated in that reply, there are in the region of 40 separate agencies and bodies under the remit of my Department. Compilation of the information sought is a significant task complicated by the fact that certain bodies compile their accounts extraneously to the Department's financial system and as such details of their foreign travel and other expenditure will not be available until their accounts are published. When this information is to hand, I will provide it to the Deputy.
