Taxpayers face €9.2m bill for Cullen advisers

MARTIN CULLEN spent over €9 million on outside experts during his time as Environment Minister.

Mr Cullen’s former election campaign manager, Monica Leech, was paid €11,200 per month as a PR adviser, most notably on e-voting.

The details of the current Minister for Transport’s expenditure of €9.2m on consultants follows the disclosure last week that Micheál Martin spent over €30m on 145 reports during his time at Health.
