Junket jolly: Central Bankers did it

THE Central Bank in Dublin has confessed that it was the state body that paid for 52 spouses of staff to go on foreign trips over a two-year period at taxpayers' expense.

But while it was admitted that there were 49 trips (and not just one giant junket jolly, as previously reported), the Central Bankers refused to give any details on who went on the trips or how much they cost.

Why not? What have they got to hide?
