Details of the President Michael D Higgins' unaudited allowance will be published this coming week.

The €317,000 a year allowance became one of the main talking points during the Presidential election earlier this year.

A number of politicians have called for full transparency over how exactly the State funds are spent.

The President's office has previously said the money is used to fund events such as garden parties at Áras an Uachtaráin - with President Higgins himself saying any suggestion the money was spent on anything else was 'outrageous'.

The Irish Daily Mail today reported that a comprehensive report is set to be published once the design and translation are finalised.

An Áras spokesperson confirmed those details, saying an announcement will be made in the next few days.
