O'Donoghue releases details of expenses

John O'Donoghue has released details of all his expenses incurred since he was elected Ceann Comhairle of the Dáil.

Last month Mr O'Donoghue said he would have the records of all his travel, accommodation and related costs placed in the Dáil library to ensure the office of Ceann Comhairle should be conducted in an open and transparent manner.

This followed his apology for the high level of expenses he incurred while Minister for Arts Sports and Tourism.

Many of the documents released today cover Mr O'Donoghue's foreign travel while on official business where the arrangements are made on the recommendation of the host country.
