The expenditure on flights, hotel stays and similar expenses resulting from seven overseas engagements during my period of office from the 7 May 2008 to date is €45,095. A figure of €10,359 was incurred during the time of my predecessor, by the late Deputy Seamus Brennan as Minister for Arts, Sport & Tourism from 14 June 2007 to 7 May 2008 on one overseas engagement.
