Public Accounts Committee

Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Houses of the Oireachtas Commission - Review of Allowances

4:40 pm

Mr. Robert Watt:

I do not think we have done analysis of other countries. Every country in this sort of space has built up its own way of paying in an ad hoc historical way. I do not think we looked at international practice when we did the review.
