Written answers

Minister for Rural and Community Development

My Department does not own, rent or operate any vehicles.

Of the four agencies under the remit of my Department - Pobal, the Western Development Commission, the Charities Regulatory Authority, and Water Safety Ireland - only Water Safety Ireland operates vehicles.

Water Safety Ireland uses 10 vehicles, 8 of which diesel and 2 are petrol. 9 vehicles are owned by the agency and 1 is leased.
