Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Fuel Prices: Discussion

Mr. Eugene Drennan:

That was how it appeared at the meeting. We took out all the nitrous oxide, the sulphur oxides and the particle matter, cleaning up the environment very well. That is acceptable in every modern city of Europe but not here. Where do we go from there? Aside from that, there are additives coming in. That is fine if the additives are out - we are up for that - but adding the additives has a cost, and Mr. Jackman will go through the costs if the committee wishes. We can get support regarding the additives, such as AdBlue, but somewhere along the line, we need the three parts to work. We have to take the strain, the customer has to be brought to the table, and we need the supports and back-up to be there both during the process and afterwards, as has been the case in the past.
