I am advised that expenditure by my Department on taxi services in 2018 was €7,556.

In general, taxi services may be hired by officers while on Departmental business where public transport is not available or suitable. Officers are instructed that, when travelling to and from the same destination, shared taxis should be availed of, where possible.
