This is a fact of how the system is run. JOD travel stuff was got not via the Oireachtas, but via the department at which he was minister… Ministerial expenses are more detailed than those of ordinary TDs.

And also, the JOD stuff is partly online already, since I’ve been scanning them (including the 472 euro car hire)

What I may do to lower costs is seek a percentage of the data, 2 years for example… to begin with anyway

In fact states have been caught destroying information of votes that didn’t go the way they wanted them to. Good luck, my friend, and keep up the good work. If we don’t watch the politicians- wherever they are- we deserve what we get.
