The Government's Programme for National Recovery 2011-2016 contains a commitment to halve the costs associated with providing official transport and to secure the release of Garda drivers for normal policing duties.
In line with that commitment, the Government has decided that former Taoisigh will no longer be supplied with official transport, other than for important State occasions. The relevant parties have been notified of the Government decision and the new arrangements will take effect on the 16th of June 2011.
