Quinn ‘unable to detail’ 4,000km of expensed travel

Education Minister Ruairi Quinn is unable to detail more than 4,000km of travel he has claimed expenses for.

Though he claimed for travel of 5,100km in July, trips recorded in his official diary only account for 884km, documents released under freedom of information legislation show.

Mr Quinn’s department said an itemised record of his car trips for July has not been kept.
