The Deputy will be aware that my Department was established on 2 June 2011. Expenditure incurred using Departmental credit cards from that date was €15,385.38 and I am advised that none of that expenditure related to official entertainment. Following a review of policy in this area, my Department now has one operational credit card with a credit limit of €10,000.
