Ceist:58 Mr. Broughan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the steps that have been taken to ensure that the reductions in VAT and excise duties announced in the budget are passed on to consumers; if her attention has been drawn in particular to allegations that filling stations may not have passed on the full decrease; if she has satisfied herself that the Director of Consumer Affairs has sufficient staff and resources to monitor prices; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
