Amharc ar fhreagraTaxi services for staff of the Department of Justice and Equality on official duties are provided by a company on foot of a contract put in place by the Office of Government Procurement. The Department's policy on use of taxis ensures that such usage is kept to a minimum and staff are advised to share services when a taxi is required.
Expenditure for the period requested is as follows:
2015 - €40,642
2016 - €41,120
2017 - €27,221 (January - June)
