I am advised that, prior to clarification in recent weeks from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, there were 4 claims for overnight expenses for staying in Dublin, outside of Dáil sitting days, from the current Ministers of State in my Department. Overnight expenses have not been paid since the position was recently clarified with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
