Cars are placed at the disposal of former Taoisigh pursuant to long standing arrangements. I am informed by the Garda authorities that it is not possible to provide the information in the format requested by the Deputy in respect of the years prior to 2008. Prior to 2008, manual records were maintained in such a way that the extraction of detailed figures specifically for former Taoisigh would be very difficult and would place an inordinate burden on Garda resources. I have asked the Garda authorities to compile the information sought in respect of 2008 and this year, based on the available data, and I will communicate direct with the Deputy when that is to hand.
