While my Department does not maintain a formal record of the travel costs for each Minister it is however estimated that the average cost of providing transport to individual Officeholders has been reduced from €280,000 in 2010 to a current annual estimate of €100,000 per annum. This represents a 65% saving on the previous transport system in place.
