I can confirm that all requests for the use of Steward's Lodge by the Department of An Taoiseach, for either meetings or for overnight stays, are recorded by OPW management at Farmleigh. There are no exceptions or exemptions from this recording requirement.

OPW does not keep a record of individual attendees at meetings or other visitors to the Lodge.

In regard to the 2020 log of visits I can confirm that former Taoiseach, Mr Leo Varadkar, used Steward's Lodge for the following dates:

- Meeting on 10 February

- Residential stay on 29 February

- Residential stay 30 March 2020 to 27 May

The current Taoiseach, Mr Michael Martin has not used the lodge to date.
