I propose to take Questions Nos. 218 to 220, inclusive, together.
As stated in my reply to question 729 on 17 January, all Independent Deputies bar one are in receipt of the Parliamentary Activities Allowance - this includes Ministers and Ministers of State elected to Dáil Éireann as Independent Members. I also stated in that reply that the annual rate of the allowance payable to an Independent Deputy is €37,037.
As regards the availability for public inspection of the statement of expenditure made to the Standards in Public Office Commission by Parties and Independent Members in receipt of the allowance, the legislation provides that the Commission must make a copy of each statement and auditor's report, together with the Commission's report on the statement, available for public inspection on its website and also at its principal office during normal working hours.
