Public Accounts Committee

Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Appropriation Account 2018

9:00 am

Mr. Peter Finnegan:

Yes, it is historical. If the Deputy looks at page 28 of the account, those costs are highlighted in note 1. I should say in respect of those costs that because of the nature of Leinster House and the demands it imposes on people, there is a requirement for a facility like this. It would be what many employers would provide to their staff.
