Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 July 2015
238. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide, in tabular form, the expenses incurred by him between 2011 and to date in 2015 to include 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. [27001/15]
View answerExpenses incurred by my predecessor, Minister Leo Varadkar, for 2011 and 2012 are provided in the following table. No breakdown by date or expense type is available for those years, other than mileage totals.

2011 |
2012 |
|
€14,400.10 (of which €10,801.14 was mileage) |
€23,065.86 (of which €14,337.96 was mileage) |
Expenses for 2013, 2014 and to end May 2015 for myself and my predecessor, with complete breakdown by date, expense type, description and amount, are provided in the following table.
All expenses are vouched where required. Any plans to change the expenses system are a matter for my colleague the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
