352. Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Defence if he will outline and itemise all expenditure undertaken by his Department on private travel for his and for his private office, on legal fees, on consultancy fees and on hotel accommodation, during the 12-month period to 30 June 2015; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30067/15]

The Department of Defence does not fund my private travel or the private travel of my staff. The hotel accommodation costs arising from my official engagements are set out as follows.

It has not been possible in the time available to compile all the necessary information in regard to Legal Fees and Consultancy Fees as requested by the Deputy. This information will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
