Oireachtas spent €885,000 on OSCE conference in Dublin, 3x initial estimate of €292,000.

The Oireachtas spent €885,000 to host an international conference in Dublin from October 2-4, over three times the original estimate of €292,000. Initially postponed due to COVID-19, the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) event faced rising costs for venue and services. Despite implementing cost-saving measures, the final bill exceeded expectations significantly, reflecting challenges in budgeting for large-scale events.
