In the period in question three new credit cards were issued in my Department. Two of the cards were issued in 2011 to myself as Minister for Finance and my Private Secretary and a further card was issued in respect of the Press Officer in 2012. Annual fees in respect of the cards came to €62 in 2011 and €93 in 2012. It is the Departments policy to ensure that all credit card payments are cleared at the end of each month to avoid penalty interest payments.
