Minister defends appointing €1,200 a day Leech
Mr Roche confirmed the public relations company, Drury Communications, was paid over €380,000 for work on the National Spatial Strategy, although Ms Leech was also involved in that project.
Fine Gael environment spokesman Fergus O’Dowd said the €303,000 paid to Monica Leech Communications could have been used to hire six advisers.
