Political Expenses, Pay and Pension Databases

With the election coming up, these databases of political pay, expenses, pensions, and allowances may all again prove of interest.

First up was the database of the €100 million paid out in salaries, expenses and allowances to TDs and Senators in the period between March 2011 and the end of July 2014:
