The information requested by the Deputy in respect of my predecessor and myself are outlined in tables. Expenses incurred in relation to all items listed with the exception of some travel have been paid on the basis of an invoice. The current policy including rules and guidelines in relation to travel expenses is set at central level and the introduction of any amendment to this regime is a matter for the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
