Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2014, I wish to request details of business mileage claims made by staff using their own vehicles for official work purposes across the Irish public service. Specifically, I am seeking the following information for each of the last five years (latest rolling five years available): • Total kilometres claimed • Total Euro value of claims reimbursed • Where available, a breakdown by Department/agency • Where available, number of claimants or vehicles • Where available, breakdown by vehicle type (e.g. car, motorcycle, electric/hybrid, etc.) I would appreciate it if the data could be provided in Excel or CSV format where possible. This request is made in the context of the Government’s stated objective to significantly reduce vehicle emissions by 2030 and the need for improved transparency around business mileage patterns to support both cost efficiency and climate policy. If the Department does not hold this information centrally, I would request details of: 1. What level of mileage claim information is collated at central level, and 2. Which Departments or agencies hold this data individually and would need to be contacted directly. Thank you for your assistance.
