The recent visit of the President of the United States of America and First Lady Melania Trump to Ireland served to support the promotion of Ireland’s interests in the US and also contributed to the development of our strong economic, political and cultural links with the US.

Costs relating to the visit which will be charged to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade are not yet finalised. To date we have received invoices totalling €1,355.00 and these are currently being processed for payment.

I will be happy to provide the Deputy with the final costs in due course.
