Figure 10.3 is very useful as it shows that the fuel allowance, back to education allowance, respite care grant and domiciliary care allowance have never been audited. While they may be smaller schemes, expenditure on them exceeds €100 million in each case. For example, expenditure on the fuel allowance was €228 million in 2013.
