Public Accounts Committee

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

2:30 pm

Mr. Kieran Coughlan:

There are some questions arising from our own side with the interpretation, whether travel was ever meant to account for outside a constituency. It was always to apply to a Deputy going to and from Leinster House and around his or her constituency. Some issues on that interpretation need to be clarified with the Department.
