Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 January 2026
442. Deputy Emer Currie asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation if details are centrally collated on the total mileage payments to staff across all Government departments and State agencies; the overall number of journeys and distance covered by mileage payments; and the proportion of journeys/payments accounted for by low or no emission vehicles. [4392/26]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) collates the total distance travelled by employees of public bodies and this includes journeys by no emission vehicles. In this context, each public body records the relevant information and shares it with the SEAI. Earlier this month, my Department provided its own figures to the SEAI for 2025 and I have included that information in the table below for the information of the Deputy. The SEAI publishes these figures on its website and the 2024 figures for the entire public sector can be found on page 22 of the SEAI report at the following link www.seai.ie/sites/default/files/publications/Public-Sector-Annual-Report-2024.pdf.
