Bertie’s makeup expenses were roughly €480 per week. That works out as €24,960 per year. Bertie Ahern was Taoiseach for eleven years, so if he was spending this much for his entire tenure at Dáil Eireann, that would work out as a total of €274,560.

The actual amount that Bertie Ahern spent on makeup falls short of this estimate, as figures obtained through Freedom of Information put it at around €250,000.

  1. Wasn’t it supposed to be his partner who was supposed to be providing rhe make up from her salon business?

  2. Pretty sure when he couldn’t think of something to expense and that was a note to his accountant.. “make up”

  3. Least corrupt country lads. Don’t worry yourselves about a quarter of a million here or there.
