I have travelled abroad on official business on four occasions since taking office, as set out in tabular form below. The total cost to date, including staff travel and accommodation costs, is €9,784, although a small number of outstanding invoices/claims remain to be paid by my Department. All expenditure was incurred in full conformity with Department of Public Expenditure and Reform guidance on such matters.
