Question:

939. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of senior individuals whether board members or executives provided with credit cards in agencies under his aegis; and in particular with reference to Teagasc and An Bord Bia, the number of credit cards issued to him and his officials. [48618/12]

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

My Department does not issue credit cards to board members or executives of the State bodies under the aegis of my Department.

In relation to the issue of credit cards by the State bodies themselves, that would be an operational matter for the State Bodies concerned.
