I propose to take Questions Nos. 182 and 183 together.
There are no official cars available to staff in my Department. With regard to bodies under the aegis of my Department, SOLAS has four vehicles in its possession. One is a car used by the Chief Executive Officer which is insured by a commercial company. The remaining three are light commercial vehicles attached to training centres which are not insured and claims relating to these vehicles are handled by the State Claims Agency on behalf of SOLAS. All vehicles are required to be taxed. No insurance claims were paid on behalf of SOLAS in respect of these vehicles in the last five years. An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta (COGG) has one vehicle (van) which acts as a mobile library. This vehicle is insured by a commercial company and is required to be taxed.
