In broad strokes, there is the guts of €500,000 being spent on fuel and €350,000 spent on car hire. The size of the fleet means that depreciation is a very serious cost.

I understand there is a need for that but I find it astonishing, considering the size of the fleet, a fleet manager was only put in place after somebody had a crash in an uninsured vehicle.
