asked the Minister for Finance in respect of the Select Committee on the Health Services the travelling and subsistence expenses paid for each meeting, and the dates of such meetings.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:

In addition 15 meetings of a Steering Committee were held. No travelling or subsidence expenses were incurred by this committee.
