Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Verona Murphy:
We have not been given notice of the meeting yet, which has to do with his intentions regarding excise duties on fuel. We have a fuel rebates system in this country but it is not based on the European model so, fundamentally, any increases the Minister were to place on excise duties on fuel would directly affect us. It would be a direct increase. The rebate kicks in at €1 per litre, so we would not be eligible-----
