Report on MEP expenses to be released
Ciarán Toland, who describes himself as a pro-EU activist, said the decision was “a fantastic result” after his three-year battle to have the report made public.
The investigation was carried out by the parliament’s internal auditor, Robert Galvin, in 2008 specifically into a sample of allowances paid to MEPs in 2004-2005. They were entitled to over €200,000 to pay assistants and office expenses.
