The total cost of official domestic travel incurred by all Ministers and Ministers of State at my Department from January 2007 to the end of September 2009 was as follows: 2007, €86,607.41; 2008, €121,543.63; and 2009 (to the end of September), €76,016.33. These figures include all identifiable costs incurred by the Ministers and Ministers of State which were paid for by my Department in relation to official domestic travel. Certain other travel-related costs, such as the provision of a car by the State for the Minister, are not borne by my Department.
