1210. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the cost incurred by her Department in 2018 for the use of taxi services; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54206/18]
View answerI am advised that expenditure by my Department on taxi services in 2018 was €7,556.
In general, taxi services may be hired by officers while on Departmental business where public transport is not available or suitable. Officers are instructed that, when travelling to and from the same destination, shared taxis should be availed of, where possible.
