Total expenditure in relation to the 180 transactions carried out on my Department's credit cards in the period June 2002 to end December 2004 amounted to €78,434. Transactions primarily cover travelling subsistence and other accommodation costs, but also items such as entertainment and the purchase of goods on line, including technical publications and IT software where payment by invoice would not be appropriate.
