Public Accounts Committee
Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Houses of the Oireachtas Commission - Review of Allowances
3:10 pm
Mr. Derek Dignam:
The situation at the moment is that Members hold their own receipts and that is the principle subject to 10% of those on the vouched amount being audited. If at some stage there is a decision - a policy decision - to change away from that towards a fully vouched system, then real-time invoicing would, of course, be a natural option.
