[36384/13]
View answerIn accordance with Government Decision of 15 March 2011, I retain a State car and Garda drivers in my capacity as the Minister for Justice and Equality. The cost of this service is funded from the Vote for an Garda Síochána. Any mileage and car related expenses due to the Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach and the Department of Defence, Mr. Paul Kehoe T.D., are met by the Department of the Taoiseach.
