A manager at Dublin Port bought a €3,000 Dublin Airport Gold Card by mistake and never used it, according to a source close to the port.
The purchase of the gold card – which gives VIP treatment and access at the airport – by communications manager Charlie Murphy was “in error”, the source said.A gold card gives the holder access to unlimited fast-track through security, annual unlimited “executive short-term parking” and unlimited access to the “executive lounges” as well as discount on airport shopping.
It was reported in the Sunday Independent that port chief executive Eamonn O’Reilly spent almost €95,000 on his credit card on flights, hotels and other expenses in 2018.Responding, the port said: “Credit cards are used as an administratively efficient means of payment with strong audit control. All credit-card expenditure is properly recorded, receipted and authorised. ”
The garden was “in fact a substantial capital project involving a complete overhaul of the entire public realm at port centre and access”, the port said.
It’s only taxpayers money 😡
Riding the wheels off the gravy train with taxpayers money. Shocker
€200,000 for a song and €7 million for a garden? Is this a fucking joke? 😩
