British-Irish Council trip cost more than £5,000

Two ministers and two officers attended Belfast summit

A trip to the British-Irish Council in Belfast earlier this month cost government in excess of £5,000.

The chief minister, education minister and two government officers attended the summit on 11 June.

A total of £5,301.44 was spent on travel, accommodation and other expenses - including PPE for the Manx delegation.

However refunds are being sought on more than £1,100 worth of flights after bookings were abandoned due to reasons outside government's control.
