The table below sets out the expenses, other than mileage, claimed by Mr. Alan Shatter T.D., during his time as Minister for Defence from March 2011 to July 2014 and those that I have claimed in the period in my capacity as Minister for Defence since I was appointed to the role in July 2014. The table also sets out the expenses, again other than mileage, claimed by Mr. Paul Kehoe T.D., Minister of State at the Department of Defence, in that capacity in the period since March 2011.
2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Former Minister Alan Shatter, T.D. | €100 | €214.80 | €162 | Nil | Nil | - |
Minister Simon Coveney, T.D. | Nil | Nil | Nil | Nil | €1,036.37 | Nil |
Minister of State Paul Kehoe, T.D. | €69 | €172.50 | €104.95 | €807.85 | Nil | Nil |
As Deputy Shatter also served as Minister for Justice and Equality during his period as Minister for Defence all costs associated with his transportation were met from the Vote of An Garda Síochána.
All mileage costs which I incur in my capacity as a Minister are currently paid from the Vote of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
Mileage expenses incurred by Minister of State Kehoe are paid from the Vote of the Department of the Taoiseach.
