Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 July 2015
227. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he will provide, in tabular form, the expenses incurred by him from 2011 to date in 2015, including the date, expense type, description and amount; if each expense was vouched; his plans to introduce changes to the expenses system to ensure all expenses are fully vouched for; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26992/15]
View answerThe information requested by the Deputy in respect of my predecessor and myself are outlined in the following tables. Expenses incurred in relation to all items listed with the exception of some travel have been paid on the basis of an invoice. The current policy including rules and guidelines in relation to travel expenses is set at central level and the introduction of any amendment to this regime is a matter for the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
