Bernard Durkan

Ceist:

119. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the extent to which he continues to monitor the main factors affecting transport costs in both the public and the private sector; the way this compares with similar factors in other EU member states; if transport provided in this jurisdiction is deemed to operate currently at a competitive disadvantage; the degree, if any, to which this may be determined in the context of the profitability of the sector in this country; if he has examined any possibilities which he might consider to be beneficial to the sector and as a consequence to consumers here; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
