There are two credit cards operated by my Department, which are held by the Private Secretaries to the Minister and to the Minister of State. The Private Secretaries are the authorised signatories in each case. The credit card limits are €6,300 and €7,000 respectively. The amounts paid in respect of both credit cards for each year from 2007 to date are set out in the following table: Table: Credit Card payments in respect of the Offices of the Minister and Minister of State
