‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Ministerial Travelling Costs. Ministerial travelling costs
Summary
Dowling asked for the Minister’s overseas travel costs from 1973 to 1977, and Kelly supplied the yearly figures. Asked whether EEC refunds applied, Kelly said he would verify whether the figures represented the cost to the national Exchequer.
asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the total cost of his travelling abroad in each of the years from March, 1973, to March, 1977.
Comment on this
I was not asked that but, as I understand the situation, the normal thing is that travelling necessitated by EEC membership is refunded. It may be that what is here is the cost which the national Exchequer has to pay, but I will find out for the Deputy.
Questions Nos. 16 and 17 postponed.
