439. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he is confident that all overseas travel undertaken by staff in State agencies is necessary; if the agencies ensure that there is a robust business case submitted before travel is sanctioned; if the agency ensures that the objective of the travel cannot be achieved through other means; if, upon their return, the staff have to submit a report on the work carried out while they were on agency business overseas; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In response to the Deputy’s questions I can confirm that the Institute of Public Administration, although a body under the aegis of my Department, has its own governance structures in place and is answerable directly to the Institute of Public Administration Board.
