Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Sorry, Senator Boyhan. Just to clarify, and not to have an argument, the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission, as the Senator knows, does not have a capital budget, so has no jurisdiction to spend money. The Ceann Comhairle has made it quite clear. To be fair of all members of the commission who operate on behalf of the Members of the Oireachtas, they were not involved in the spending and the allocation of funding, and there should be no inference that they were.
