Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications

I can confirm to the Deputy that there are no civilian drivers attached to me or to Ministers of State within my Department.

I can confirm to the Deputy that I have Garda drivers attached to me. Garda Drivers come under the auspices of the Department of Justice and as such, my Department does not hold the information requested.
