My Department has a credit card policy in place which lays out the conditions for the use of business credit cards issued by the Department. The cardholder is obliged to certify that expenditure on the cards was incurred for official purposes only and in accordance with the Department’s guidelines on the use of credit cards. Expenditure on the cards is subject to continuous monitoring by the appropriate authority.
Bank of Ireland is the institute to which payments set out in the table were made.
