The travel and subsistence costs incurred by the Department for the period 2011 to the end of August 2016 are set out in the following table. It should be noted that the 2013 expenditure includes the travel costs associated with Ireland’s presidency of the EU Commission.

The figures above do not include the travel and subsistence costs for the Offices of the Department spanning the past five and a half years. I will follow up with the total travel costs, inclusive of the Offices, to the Deputy in the coming days. The Offices of the Department include the Companies Registration Office, the Employment Appeals Tribunal, the Low Pay Commission, the Labour Court, the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, the Patents Office and the Workplace Relations Commission.
