Minister for Finance

I wish to inform the Deputy that my Department does not hold a record of the current employment status of Civilian drivers formerly employed by the Department who were replaced by an official Garda driver. No VER payments were issued to these drivers, and the Department is not aware of any case being presented to the WRC on foot of these changes.
