I have two nominated Garda drivers assigned to me in my role as Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage. These drivers operate on a week on/week off basis and details of their contracts are a matter for my colleague the Minister for Justice.
The two Ministers of State in my Department have appointed two civilian drivers, each also on a week on/week off pattern. These drivers' hours of attendance are fixed from time to time but amount to on average not less than 41 hours and 15 minutes gross per week in accordance to their contracts which have been laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas.
