The amount spent by my Department and offices on our corporate taxi account, for the years 2011 to date, is set out in the following tabular statement:

YearAmount Spent
2011€12,160
2012€10,585
2013€17,690 (to include additional expenditure arising from Ireland’s hosting

of the EU Presidency)
2014 (Jan to May)€6,345
In line with Department policy, every effort is made to minimise the use of taxis. With reference to the expenditure on taxis incurred by any Agency funded by my Department, this is a day to day matter for the Agencies concerned and is not an area in which I have any function. Agencies under the aegis of my Department have been asked to provide a reply directly to the Deputy.
