The costs of this constituency office is met by parliamentary expenses as Proinsias has detaile on his website: Quote: |
MEPs are allocated a monthly allowance of 4352.00 to cover the costs of equipping and running a constituency office, for travel, and other expenditure related to membership of the European Parliament, in their home state. I maintain a bank account in Ireland for the general expenditure allowance separately from my personal account, and only use it for the purposes intended. I rent and maintain an office in Liberty Hall where my Dublin based staff work and where I operate from, when I am in Dublin.
