As the Deputy may be aware, following a security review by Garda Commissioner Harris, it was agreed to provide two Garda drivers to me. I had one Civilian Driver who was replaced by the Garda drivers.

Severance/ex gratia arrangements are in place and the option of redeployment to Temporary Clerical Officer is also facilitated.

We do not comment on personal payment arrangements or the current employment status of any particular individual.
