As the Deputy will be aware, I assumed responsibility as Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport earlier this year. The total amount spent on the items in question in the context of ministerial meetings and functions in the 2010 calendar year to date is €577. It is not possible to break down the amounts under the headings listed by the Deputy as this information is not readily available. The refreshments are sourced from various local establishments.
