The only cost incurred by my Department in respect of the visit to Singapore was the cost of the flights for myself and the two officials accompanying me, which amounted to €7,035 including taxes and charges.
In order to reduce the costs of the visit my officials and I stayed in the Ambassador's residence in Singapore. The costs arising in Singapore in relation to the trip were met from the existing budget of the Irish Embassy in Singapore.
