    Richard Boyd Barrett claims €12,000 for car repairs and travelling 12km to Dail

    He has confirmed that he claimed €12,000 last year in expenses for travelling to the Dail from his home in Glenageary, in his Dun Laoghaire constituency -- a distance of just 12km.

    He said he used the full amount for travel expenses -- including his car-repair bills.

    "First of all, my car had to be repaired several times because I use it so much. I travel sometimes twice a day back and forth from Dun Laoghaire," said Mr Boyd Barrett    .


    Not a suitable commute for a bike?

    I drive 50/60k a year and my bills including servicing wouldn't be that much!

    What repairs does he need to do? Surely he means servicing?!? You don't need to repair a car as a result of use. You need to repair it as a result of being hit or hitting something!

    Not a suitable thread for the cycling forum, certainly

    EDIT: I have explained to the OP that if he wishes to start a thread about encouraging more of our public representatives to cycle that's fine, but the opening post to this thread is not suitable to this forum (more likely Politics or even Motors)
