Cost of Living Issues
Dail Éireann — 2022-04-28
============================================================

Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

I will discuss the matter with the Minister. I would imagine the reason the scheme has been constructed for licensed hauliers only relates to the existence of a defined list of them and also because they are regulated. We will need to examine the issue in some greater detail. I understand the point the Deputy makes, whereby people who are involved in the business of transporting livestock are certainly not immune to any extent from rising fuel prices and are carrying the burden of that in the same way as licensed hauliers. I will certainly raise the issue with the Minister and revert to the Deputy directly.
