Civil servants vow to fight cut to payment for meetings
A payment of €212 for the first night away from home and €69 after that is paid to civil servants who earn over €125,000. Those on salaries below that get an allowance of €218 for the first night.
It is the only one of 1,100 allowances scrapped following a review of the system by Brendan Howlin, the minister for public expenditure and reform.
