Drinks on the house

It is reported that money owed by members of the Oireachtas to the in-house restaurant/bar may be passed to a debt-collection agency.

The solution is for all members of the Oireachtas, upon taking up their appointment, to sign a form authorising monthly deductions, from their salaries, of expenditures incurred in the Oireachtas restaurant/bar.
