I have set out details of the travel related expenses claimed by me and the Ministers of State in my Department since the formation of the current Government in the following tables. The tables cover the period 2011 to 2015 and also include the annual kilometres travelled by car in undertaking official business. There have been no travel claims processed for January 2016 yet.The payments made for kilometres travelled were paid in accordance with the rules and applicable rates sanctioned by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. The claims were made based on monthly odometer readings from the personal cars of each Minister.

Minister Damien English’s responsibilities as Minister for Research, Innovation and Skills span this Department and the Department of Education and Skills. It was agreed in July 2014 that the Department of Education and Skills would administer and bear the cost of Minister English’s travel claims except for foreign travel costs incurred undertaking duties directly falling under the remit of the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
