Audit finds Eoin Ó Broin claimed most in ineligible expenses in last Dáil

Former Fine Gael Senator Gabrielle McFadden and Fine Gael Senator John O'Mahony came second and third respectively

Eoin O Broin said: "The rules are straight forward but when you're a busy TD, it's not uncommon to get mixed up in what you think is covered."

Sinn Féin's Eoin Ó Broin claimed €2,700 in ineligible expenses in the last Dáil, a random audit has found.

TDs and Senators from the previous Dáil were randomly selected for an independent audit by Mazars to ensure they are able to show receipts/relevant documentation, within allowable expenditure categories in Parliamentary Standard Allowance.
