tRump nicked the Irish government for $15,000 just for snack bags for the Irish police (Gardai) during pEnce's visited.
From the Irish edition of The Independent: Gardai paid Donald Trump's Doonbeg resort €14k for snack bags for members during US President's visit
That is according to new figures released by the Gardai concerning its €11.3 million over-time operation put in place to protect US President Donald Trump during his two night stay at his Trump Doonbeg resort in June.
The figures released in response to a new Freedom of Information request show that the Trump Doonbeg resort catering bill was run up through a series of ‘Marquee Banquets’ for the Gardaí where they consumed a variety of meals over five days in June at the resort.
The bill for providing Gardai with sandwich/snack bags was €2,800 per day over the five days while Gardai also spent €875 on "additional teas and coffees due to inclement weather" on June 4th.
The contents of the sandwich bag are not known but a west Clare retailer which also supplied sandwich bags to the Gardai during the operation included a sandwich, a drink, a bar of chocolate, a piece of fruit and a bag to Taytos at a cost of €5 each to the Gardai.
The breakdown of the €107,625 total shows that over three days of the five day overtime operation Trump Doonbeg earned over €26,000 each day.
