I can confirm that I have two Garda Protection Officers assigned to me as a Government Minister. As these are employees of An Garda Síochána, the Deputy may request further information about their working arrangements from the Minister for Justice.
Minister of State Anne Rabbitte has two civilian drivers assigned to her. Both drivers are contracted to work on average not less than 41 hours and 15 minutes gross per week. The work pattern for each driver is seven days on and seven days off on a week-on-week-off basis.
