Maybe some kind of global figure could be provided. The industry is forever telling us the amount of money collected in transport taxes, be it from the sale of new cars, excise duties on fuel or motor car tax. What is the overall picture and overall expenditure? We know some of it gets absorbed in general taxation.

It does not go through the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport to Irish Water. The Society of the Irish Motor Industry and such bodies are forever producing reports-----
