According to information released to The Irish Times under Freedom of Information legislation, 39 TDs and Senators have provided such sworn statements to Oireachtas authorities. Other TDs who provided such information to the Oireachtas include Green Party TDs Francis Noel Duffy, Marc Ó Cathasaigh, Neasa Hourigan and Minister of State Malcolm Noonan. Three independent TDs also swore such statements – Louth TD Peter Fitzpatrick, Wexford TD Verona Murphy and Donegal TD Thomas Pringle. Dublin-based Senators may receive €5,250 while Senators living more than 360km away may receive up to €29,565. Despite signing the statement in order to receive the full expenses, some TDs or Senators may still be docked money as they may still not meet the required 108 days of attendance.
