Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I wish simply to make a point arising from what the Taoiseach has said. This is in everyone's interest. I realise the Minister may have had to receive delegations or deputations or had bilateral meetings wherever she was staying. However, her public servants would have been aware of the nature of the meetings she had to attend. From that point of view, why was it necessary to have a limousine on hire all day and for half of the following day if it was only required for a few minutes by the Minister? Surely a conventional taxi would be able to bring any Minister from an hotel to a conference centre.
