IDA delegation in Davos paid out €1k a night

The IDA delegation to Davos, led by CEO Martin Shanahan, avoided the sky-high accommodation prices at the resort but still paid over €1,000 per night.

New figures released in response to a freedom of information request show that the cost of accommodating the four-strong IDA group totalled €5,663 over five nights. Accommodation prices in Davos in Switzerland itself were too costly and the four IDA delegates retreated to the nearby Klosters where they rented an apartment.

The cost to the IDA of attending Davos was €18,780 including a payment of €10,517 to Hotel Grischa where the IDA staged an event where Taoiseach, Enda Kenny also participated.
