It good to see that one of our own is up there at the top of the expenses table with the like of the John o dondghue's of this country.How thw hell can this guy justify claiming this amount of expenses in the past 2 years?At least John o Donoghus looked after his own in kerry but our fine bunch of TD's sat on their fingers while SGH has been destroyed!!meanwhile car and buse loads of people with cancer travel to an overworked hodpital in galway daily...

i recently had a conversation with my father about these sort of people,
im from this mans home town,

it cant be justified, me and my dad came to a conclusion of what is going on here, i better not say what that is as i might get banned,
but our conlusions are correct, thers no other word for it,

just work out this sum on a weekly basis, at that point youll have to stop and think, and maybe even puke at the thoughts of it

What I love is that these elected representatives expect the average working man and women in getting by with their own pay, they get well paid themselves and expect to be reimbursed for everything they use? Why wouldn't they live it up, who is going to hold them accountable?

expenses = €95,000 per year(€190000/2)tax free
wages=€100,000 per year approx
that works out at around €3750 per week!!!!!and he only pay tax on around half of that:eek:that last time i saw him on the paper he was campaining on behalf of some film crew from aisa who were in sligo making a film....meanwhile the bloodly hospital is closing wards on a daily basis!what a total waste of our money!every person who meets mr perry should ask him how he justifies charging the tax payer this sort of money for his "services"

a man told my father about an experience he had a while back when he was asked to make a speech about a monument in a town that had been just erected, a great crowed gathered and a lot of well known faces to the area councellors local polatitions and the sort, he wasnt long into the speech when the crowed started to fizzle out very quickly, this man couldnt understand what he was doing wrong, truth is nothing, theese people just turned out to show ther faces and claim ther expences.

I expect he travels a lot to and from Dublin

Subsistence rates are allowed for overnight stay ragardless of whether or not accommodation is paid for. This is the same for Civil Service & Businesses ...

Travel expenses are also allowable per mile -- if he drives ...

What's your opinion on how he clocked up so much?

Still seems very excessive though doesn't it?

Does this include election expenses?, which I would imagine is a fair whack.

Not being too political about it, but I think he works harder than most of the other TD's about the place, as does his missus and son-in law Dara Mulvey, also a councillor. I think he has been pretty consistent on SGH, so I think you're barking up the wrong tree there. The Perry's are very active fundraisers in local community as well.

Having said that, it's a disgrace what's going on in the country, and it's very easy to solve IMO......the state buy a hotel in Dublin, fully staffed, and all TD's should stay there...no general public allowed....and we'd all save a fortune.

bonzos · 13-10-2009, 10:55

How come Jimmy Devins(FF) only managed to to claim €39k in the same period?surely he travels the same distance to dublin as perry!in relation to dara mulvey,it is widely rumoured thay perry "helped" him with is recent campain,surely any money allocated to perry as expenses should not have been used to promote a family member in an election campain....was the cost of posters and leafets for mulvey claimed for with perrys expenses?This still does not explain how he can justify claiming €150k more than devins over the same period.

Yes it is, VERY excessive...

I know TDs get expenses for sitting on committees so some of it's form that ....

I noticed this a few weeks ago when expenses were listed in the indo.. No big deal was made of it so I though it was a misprint.

Ring him and ask him..

As for being hard working - he'd need tobe at that price
