Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 February 2012
673 Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Health the amount of mileage clocked up on a monthly basis for which expenses were claimed for all Ministers attached to his Department since March 2011; the amount claimed in mileage expenses on a monthly basis for all Ministers attached to his Department since March 2011, and the full list of trips for which mileage expenses were claimed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10803/12]
View answerThe information requested by the Deputy is detailed in the following tabular statement. I make claims for mileage periodically, rather than by trip, as does my colleague Minister of State Lynch. Individual trip data are not readily available. Minister of State Shortall does not avail of a civilian driver. The basis on which Ministers record mileage does not require individual trips to be listed.
