I propose to take Questions Nos. 425, 426 and 428 together.

In the time available, it has not been possible for my officials to compile all of the information requested by the Deputy in respect of foreign ministerial travel and foreign travel by officials of my Department and its Offices. However, I will forward the details to the Deputy in writing as soon as possible. With regard to the agencies under the remit of my Department, the details of the expenditure incurred in respect of foreign travel is a matter for each agency.
