The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the table below.

Certain sections of my Department were decentralised to Tullamore, Co. Offaly in July 2006 and the travel costs and expenses are from that date. The travel to the base Department includes all my Department's offices in Dublin. Some functions and staff were transferred to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in July 2011.  Travel costs and expenses for these transferred staff were paid by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for the remainder of 2011 and are not included here.
