I propose to take Questions Nos. 88 and 89 together.

The information requested is set out in the tables. The costs arising to the Department are broken down into three categories - Foreign Travel (including flights, subsistence and accommodation), Domestic Travel (including subsistence and accommodation) and Official Entertainment expenses.
