The table below sets out the travel costs associated with Ministerial engagements for St Patrick's Day for my Department. It should be noted in some instances the Department of Foreign Affairs makes arrangements for accommodation and this may be billed to my Department at a later date. Also, Minister Naughton, who is Government Chief Whip as well as Minister of State in my Department, had her travel and accommodation expenses paid by the Department of the Taoiseach. Some or all of these costs may be billed to my Department at a later date.
