Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 May 2026
5. Deputy John Brady asked the Taoiseach to provide a detailed breakdown of all gifts received in his capacity as Minister; the nature of these gifts and potential monetary value; the procedures followed in accepting gifts. [33389/26]
View answerThe arrangements to be observed by office holders in respect of gifts of goods or services are set out in the Guidelines on Compliance with the Provisions of the Ethics in Public Office Acts 1995 and 2001 which are published on the website of the Standards in Public Office Commission.
Statements made annually by office holders must include all gifts of goods and services which exceed €650 in value. These statements are published in Iris Oifigiúil and are also available on the website of the Houses of the Oireachtas. Records are not maintained by the Department of the Taoiseach in relation to gifts of lesser value received from time to time. A gift received in November 2025 is currently being valued. If the gift exceeds the threshold, it will be noted on the register once the valuation is complete.
