There are currently two Departmental credit cards in use within my Department. The cards are held by a member of staff in the Corporate Services Division (CSD) and the Centre for Management and Organisation Development (CMOD) respectively. Each card has an expenditure limit of €5,000.00. The cards are used exclusively by officials in my Department for the purchase of a variety of goods and services. In addition to the two Departmental cards, a further three members of staff currently hold credit cards which have been issued for official purposes by my Department. The annual breakdown of the amount spent on each card is contained in the table.
