Written answers

As the Deputy will be aware the Government decision of 15 March 2011 provided that former Office Holders including former Taoisigh should no longer be supplied with official transport but that such transport should be available to them on important State occasions. Arrangements for such transport and any cost associated with same are a matter for the Department of Justice and An Garda Síochána in the first instance. I have referred the matter directly to them for reply to the Deputy.
