View answerAs the Deputy is aware a working group was set up between officials of my Department, the IRHA and members of the Oireachtas. This working group had a series of meetings to discuss issues of concern to the haulage industry including the matter of an essential users rebate. I have received a submission from the group. I have also recently met with represtatives of the IRHA. I am considering matters raised by the IRHA and the report from the group.
