I have been to the Department's decentralised headquarters on a total of 3 occasions. Video conference facilities are used on a regular basis for discussion with my officials there for both Departmental business and when meeting with industry delegations and delegations led by Oireachtas members. It has not been possible to travel to Killarney during Dáil sitting days.
