Hi, I am a new entrant in the civil service based in kilkenny. I have been notified that i must attend 8 weeks training in Dublin for 3 days a week. My department has booked a B+B for the nights of the course. This includes accommodation and breakfast only. I have been told that I can't claim overnight expenses as they are providing accommodation. I was notified that i can claim mileage for one return journey per week (so can't travel home daily) and should use public transport where possible. The course runs from 9.30 to 4.30 daily. I'm wondering if one can typically claim for lunch and dinner in the civil service when overnight accommodation is provided. If so, how would this typically be done?
