In 2023 the Minister and 2 officials travelled to the Porto Social Forum in Porto, Portugal for 5 days from the 25th- 29th May 2023.
The cost of the flights were €719.29, €770.28 and €770.28. Total costs for the trip was €2259.50.
In 2024 the Minister undertook no foreign travel for the Department of Social Protection.
I trust that this clarifies matters for the Deputy.
