James Breen
Question:651 Mr. J. Breen asked the Minister for Transport his view of the fact that engine manufacturers for large vehicles, both trucks and buses have advanced the designs and taken these new modern engines and exhaust systems up to Euro 4 and 5 standard and the fact that both the haulage and coach and bus businesses have invested large sums to try to reach the targets of Euro 4 and 5 emissions to help these industries reach their targets and in so doing, help Ireland to get a lower emission rating; and if he has plans either by grant aid or by scrappage schemes to help these industries take out all the older vehicles and older less compliant engines and at the same time, to get the newer engines with the necessary conversions to be able to use bio fuels.
