The following table sets out the total cost of commercial flights incurred by me and by my predecessor since January 2006:
Year | Total cost of commercial flights |
2006 (Minister Roche) | â'¬16,816.64 |
2007 (Minister Roche) | â'¬4,381.87 |
2007 | â'¬13,257.89 |
2008 | â'¬9,785.79 |
2009 | â'¬3,117.44 |
It should be noted that, in some instances, the costs incurred were refunded to the Department by the European Council or by the Commission.
