My Department paid €1,480,239 in mileage expenses in 2006. A further amount of €74,959 was expended on bus and rail expenses.

My Department also operates a Travel Pass Scheme for staff under which they purchase an annual bus or rail pass in a tax efficient manner approved by the Revenue Commissioners; some 250 staff are currently availing of this.
