View answerIn response to the Deputy's questions my Department does not possess a fleet of motor vehicles.
In relation to bodies under the aegis of My Department the office of the Revenue Commissioners have supplied me with the following information in respect of the motor vehicles in their possession. Currently there are 223 motor vehicles in Revenue's fleet. All of these are exempt from the payment of motor tax. None of these hold an insurance policy for driving in the state and are instead covered by State indemnity. All claims arising in respect of Revenue vehicles are handled by the State Claims Agency.
