Ms Verona Murphy:

I read about it. We must bear in mind this is a very small country. The Deputy will have read about driverless trucks and platooning. That would be suitable for journeys from Cork to Dublin but it is certainly not suitable if for delivering a load to Cahirciveen, in which case a driver is still needed in the truck. At all times a driver would need to be in the truck. Even though people talk about driverless trucks, these trucks would not be unmanned.
