Minister of State O'Dowd
A 25% deduction is made each month for mileage not related to the Office of the Minister of State. With regard to the Deputy's request for a full list of trips for which mileage expenses were claimed I wish to inform the Deputy that the basis upon which Ministers record their mileage does not require them to list individual trips.
