- Pensions and Retirement Lump Sums: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (7 Nov 2012)
Mattie McGrath: The €40,000 allowance is very generous. It should be vouched, as should every other shilling. Figures have been circulated relating to political party allowances; I did not know for three years that my party was collecting €100,000 per year because I was elected against its wishes in Tipperary South. I found out the hard way but I know now. The parties are getting millions of...
- Pensions and Retirement Lump Sums: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (7 Nov 2012)
