Departmental Travel.
4:00 pm
Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)
In the past number of years I have asked every Minister the amounts of money spent on mileage allowances compared to public transport. The answer from almost every Department, including the Minister's, is that more than 95% is spent on mileage allowances. While the stated position is that we wish to promote the use of public transport, everything in the current system encourages people to drive.
What does the Minister intend doing to change that, if anything?
