The legislation provides for an annual allowance to be paid to party leaders and independent members of the Oireachtas to cover expenses that arise from parliamentary activities.
Every year the party leaders and Independents must tell the Commission, which oversees the Act, how they spend this allowance. We review the disclosures to make sure the allowance is spent on eligible expenses.
See Oireachtas (Ministerial and Parliamentary Offices) (Amendment) Act 2014 for the complete text of the legislation.
