​Currently, I have one official foreign engagement confirmed in 2015, to attend a European Transport Council meeting in Luxembourg on 11 June.  Ministers Ring and Phelan currently have no overseas engagements scheduled between now and the end of 2015.

  The Deputy will appreciate that foreign travel can be for a range of business reasons, including attendance at EU Council meetings, missions to promote tourism and bilateral engagement with Ministers of other Governments.  It is likely that further 2015 engagements for these purposes will be confirmed in due course.
