There are two Bank of Ireland corporate credit cards for official business purposes currently in use in my Department. The cards are held by my Private Secretary and a nominated officer in my Department's Finance Unit. Until 2017 these cards operated on a no fees basis. Therefore, the costs incurred on these cards from 2012 to 2016 are the standard €120 per year annual card charge and €30 per year Stamp Duty charge.

For current account services for the period in question, a no fees agreement was in operation with Bank of Ireland.
