Since my appointment as Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation on 6th May 2016 I have not been paid for any travel expenses yet. I understand that a claim is currently being processed by the Department’s Finance Unit for an amount of €126.57. This relates to subsistence costs for an official engagement I undertook in Brussels covering the 12th and 13th May 2016.

No travel and subsistence payments have yet been made to Minister Pat Breen T.D. and Minister John Halligan T.D. since their appointments as Ministers of State at the Department in May.

The travel costs paid to Minister Bruton and Minister Nash in 2016 are set out in the following tables.
