Expenses for Local Body Meetings

Summary

McDowell asked whether Ministers were claiming meeting expenses while using State transport. The Taoiseach said it was a separate question, and Mitchell challenged him for evading it.

Can the Taoiseach assure this House that no members of his Cabinet or Ministers of State are drawing expenses for attending at health board meetings or local authority meetings while using State transport? Can he give us that assurance?

That is a separate question. If the Deputy puts down a question I will deal with it.

That is a separate question. Question No. 5.

Why is the Taoiseach evading the question?
