Office Holder cars are placed at the disposal of Government Office holders pursuant to a long standing arrangement. Other than current Office holders, only former Taoisigh and former Presidents are entitled to State cars. The amount of money spent in 2008 on state cars for four former Taoisigh was €794,002.41. This figure includes maintenance & fuel, salaries of Garda drivers and cost of new cars purchased in 2008 (where appropriate).
