From the article: “The annual allowance payable under the PAA to independent members of Dáil Éireann is €37,037 or €21,045 for members of the Seanad.
The allowance is not subject to income tax.

A detailed breakdown!! For fuck sake more like some creative writing. Didn’t the last government make changes to having to the way politicians have to vouch for expenses as well. As for an audit by an independent accountant sure those cunts are all sucking from the same trough bleeding the country dry along with the legal profession and the politicians. What a horrible shower of bastards.
