The information requested by the Deputy is taken from the expenses payment system used by my Department and is outlined in the table.

Hard copy receipts are retained by the Department in any instance of vouched expenses.  There is no vouching involved for subsistence and similar matters.

Changes to the expenses system is a policy matter and would be decided upon by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
