Posted on 18:36 by nice news
The Irish government has defended its decision to send ministers across the world on St Patrick’s Day trips at a cost of €200,000.
27 out of Ireland’s 28 government ministers are out of the country today, with prime minister Enda Kenny currently undertaking a six-day tour of the U.S. Others are visiting countries across Europe and the rest of the world, with finance minister Michael Noonan the only minister remaining in the country. Irish culture minister Aodhán Ó Ríordáin announced the budget for the visits earlier this month.
Irish newspaper the Journal reported that the current government has spent more than €700,000 funding the annual St Patricks’ trips since they took office in 2011. Last year, ministerial visits to 23 countries cost a total of €230,658.
