Brendan Griffin
Question:292. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will provide in tabular form the unvouched amounts paid to Independent TDs under the heading of leaders’ allowance from their election to the 31st Dáil to 1 July 2014; if these payments were entirely tax free; the changes now put in place to stop unvouched claims under this heading and to reduce claims; if every eligible current Independent TD claimed the absolute maximum available under the leaders’ allowance until the Government changes were enforced; if any eligible current Independent TD ever returned any of the money involved; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
