Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 September 2008
1424 Deputy Fergus O’Dowd asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the number, type, purchasing and leasing cost and CO2 emissions of vehicles acquired by his Department for each of the past three years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29552/08]
View answerThe vehicles listed below have been purchased by my Department since September 2005. No vehicles have been leased by the Department since that time.
I have included CO2 emissions for motor vehicles acquired in 2008. Given that CO2 emissions have not been a determinant for motor tax prior to January 2008, details of emissions for vehicles acquired in previous years are not readily available. These will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
My Department's National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), for whom the majority of vehicles are purchased, is moving, where possible, to introduce vehicles to its fleet which are biofuel compatible. Approximately 17.5% of the fleet is currently run on biofuel and further use will be made of alternative transport fuels as older vehicles (including both road and work vehicles, such as tractors and quads) are replaced with newer models that can utilise biofuel.
