The total expenditure incurred by staff of my Department and its offices under the heading of travel and subsistence from 1 January 2020 to date (end May 2021) was €747,036.
Travel and Subsistence expenditure has been significantly curtailed since March 2020 due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on travel.
Despite restrictions, essential travel has still been required, particularly for inspection activities in the areas of workplace safety and employment rights.
