Questions (253)

Brendan Griffin

Question:

253. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if the newly vouched leaders' allowance continues to be claimed by Independent Deputies and Senators; if so, the amount that has been claimed up to December 2014 by each Member under both vouched and unvouched conditions since the general election in 2011; if any Independent Deputy has ever returned any of the allowance or if they have all claimed the maximum available every year; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48134/14]

Written answers

I refer the Deputy to my reply to his previous question on this matter question 91 of 18 September 2014 (reference 34985/14).  The total amounts paid to each qualifying independent member from 9 March 2011 to date are set out in the tables.  Michael Fitzmaurice TD, elected to Dáil Éireann in October of this year, has not yet claimed the allowance.  I am not aware of any amounts that may have been returned by members.
