Minister for Transport

Since my appointment as Minister for Transport, I have not availed of a Ministerial driver. Minister of State Naughton has availed of two Ministerial Civilian drivers since July 2020.

These Civilian Drivers remain in their roles and have not been replaced by an official Garda driver.
