wouldnt be a fan of his but its refreshing to see TD's choosing to publish their expenses, think Leo Veradker does also.
How can he have relatively low expenses to do his job when others need 3 times as much,
I think Willie O Dea has the lowest expense claims in the Dail. Willie has the highest votes of any Politician in the country yet he has the lowest expenses. So why do other TD's have such high expenses?
If you take Willie as an example then it shows that you do not need high expenses to stay elected.
Willie is in the south west and clims 17k per year, John O' Donoghue is in the south west and claims 329k
It is legal theft in my opinion.
Expenses need to be put on the internet for all to see. If they're legitimate then no TD has anything to fear.
