I will complete my questions because I will not be able to come back after the vote. It is obviously a function for the Irish Government and Parliament to change the laws and to change the tax code to make it competitive.

It is very difficult for hauliers to operate their businesses south of the Border. From my contact with hauliers, quite a number of them are considering re-registering and moving north of the Border. I think that is deeply damaging and would have a negative impact on our indigenous haulage sector. We must find the solution. The information the witnesses have provided is helpful and it is now over to the Government to deal with that.
