As 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. I have recently received a submission from the group and I am considering the matters raised. I note the recent trend in falling oil prices and I hope that this continuing fall is reflected in the price of auto-diesel for hauliers at the pumps.

46 Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Finance if he will report on his engagement with the Irish Road Haulage Association; the position regarding the working group’s submission; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31653/12]
