Amharc ar fhreagraThe total travel expenses and reimbursement costs incurred by my Department from 2011 to 21st September 2016 is provided in the table. It should be noted that the Ministerial Air Transport Service was not available for trans-Atlantic or long-haul destinations since July 2014, which necessitated travel on commercial carriers instead.
