The Department of Transport paid out €682,000 approximately in car mileage expenses in 2004, of which approximately €503,000 relates to driver testing costs.

It is necessary to amend our financial system to generate the specific report on total mileage for Department of Transport staff in 2004 requested by the Deputy. This is being done by our software contractors and the information will be passed directly to the Deputy.
