The amounts paid by my Department, including arrears in respect of previous years, by way of car mileage allowances and the total mileage claimed by civil and military personnel in 2004 are as follows.
| Amount | Mileage | |
| â'¬m | ||
| Civil Servants, Civilian Employees and Members of the Civil Defence Board And the Army Pensions Board | 0.231 | 239,200 |
| Military: | ||
| — Permanent Defence Force (PDF) on normal duties | 0.224 | 196,069 |
| — PDF attached to the Reserve | 1.163 | 1,178,288 |
| — Other PDF | 0.402 | see note |
| — Reserve Defence Force personnel | 0.475 | see note. |
| Note: the mileage figures are not readily available for the last two categories mentioned because of the formats in which the relevant records are maintained, and the extraction of such information would involve an inordinate amount of staff time. |
