As Deputy Shatter also served as Minister for Justice and Equality during his period as Minister for Defence all costs associated with his transportation were met from the Vote of An Garda Síochána.
All mileage costs which I incur in my capacity as a Minister are currently paid from the Vote of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
Mileage expenses incurred by Minister of State Kehoe are paid from the Vote of the Department of the Taoiseach.
