In accordance with arrangements agreed by Government, I use my own personal car and have two civilian drivers appointed to undertake driving duties in the performance of my official duties.

The details regarding car and driver expenses for 2021 are set out in tabular form as follows:

Description of Expense
Total Amount 2021
Minister Catherine Martin Mileage expense claimed under the Ministerial Travel Scheme
€7,198.66*
Civilian Driver 1 Travel and Subsistence (Civil Service Rates)
€530.35
Civilian Driver 2 Travel and Subsistence (Civil Service Rates)
€352.32
* This amount includes mileage expenses for 2020 totalling €1,640.80, claimed during 2021.

There are no car or driver expenses paid by my Department in relation to Minister of State, Jack Chambers in 2021.
