The Taoiseach is under fire for the expenses incurred in his Department during the past year.
Tipperary TD Mattie McGrath is asking how the Department can justify spending almost €97,000 on newspapers, tea, coffee and water in just one year.
Other expenses termed as ‘outrageous’ by Deputy McGrath include €112,700 for entertainment and €257,000 on foreign travel.
Speaking on Tipp Today Mattie McGrath said there is no expenditure by the Taoiseach’s Department to review spending or to determine value for money.
