Politicians' expenses bills may be slashed
Massive expenses bills run up by TDs and Senators could be slashed in the fall-out over controversial independent allowance payments to Fianna Fáil TD Beverley Flynn, it emerged today.
Even though the Mayo politician gave up her non-party role eight months ago, Ms Flynn has continued to receive the €41,000 a year bonus insisting she is entitled to the tax-free sum under law.
