The Northern Irish MLA Expenses claims have recently been published in a small local newspaper in Northern Ireland. They can claim up to 72k a year to help run their constituency.
Some of the more interesting claims include:
Peter Robinson claimed for a 42inch tv (apparently for his ‘office’. I think he has mistaken the word office for ‘living room’)
The Shinners have been claiming up to £10 for a toaster.
Ulster Unionists have claimed for Sky Plus (only the basic package you understand, anything more would be wrong) and nearly 1k for a walnut desk (because sometimes, ikea just doesn’t cut it)
The Independents in Tyrone have claimed £100 for a Map of Fermanagh. I have sent them detailed information about these new fangled ‘satellite navigation devices’ that cost around the same and through the use of witchcraft they show maps of the whole country.
