Written answers

My Department has a contract in place for the provision of taxi services in Dublin, which was sourced under an Office of Government Procurement framework agreement. In 2018, total expenditure by my Department on taxi fares, at home and abroad, amounted to €20,488. For comparison purposes, taxi expenditure has declined by 35% since 2010, notwithstanding an increase of 49% in staffing levels in the same period.
