Memberships of organisations/associations are a matter of operational management for the bodies individually. However, I understand that the following is the position in relation to total payments to IBEC for the years in question.

*In addition to the above, Bord Bia made payments to IBEC of €192,000, €246,000 and €272,000 in the years 2007, 2008 and 2009 under the European Orientation Programme.
