It's a SIPO-monitored allowance and can be used for all manner of parliamentary activity, typically staff recruitment and "research".

Yawn, they are fully entitled to make this expense claims get over it.

I’d claim a few hundred in meal expenses anytime I’ve work related travel or entertaining clients etc. Don’t see anything but normal spending there really from the politicians.

Wish I got 70k for updating someones wordpress :pac:
I don't get it tho, does he not expect to produce some invoice or something when questioned? Or is it a case of his nephew (example) running some web design agency and passing money back and fourth?

I just don't get it.

No just to account for it to SIPO in some way that matches the type of payment.

David Norris is a fcukin chancer and has had his snout in the trough for decades

Yet ppl seem to just smile and laugh at his “persona”

A lot came out about him and his dodgy expenses when he ran for president. But it was glossed over.

Said it years ago. He’s a fcukin leech

.................

They are all fcukin leeches. Massive salaries and pensions, all the cousins and kids parachuted into soft state jobs, big expense accounts that pay for virtually all types of day to day stuff and cushy European "department of ripping off the people " jobs when we get sick of them.....

Cnuts every single one of them
