In accordance with Government Decision of 15 March 2011, I retain a State car and Garda drivers. The Government Chief Whip and Minister of State at the Departments of the Taoiseach and Defence is entitled to claim motor mileage allowance in respect of the use of his private car on official business.

All expenses & allowances payable to myself and the Minister of State are in accordance with the Department of Finance guidelines and circulars and are available at www.finance.gov.ie.
