Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Fuel Prices: Discussion
Mr. Eugene Drennan:
Yes, not to malign anybody. On the supply chain, I would like to see the Minister for Foreign Affairs or whoever has input in the EU to get Saudi Arabia to turn on diesel more. It is the next biggest supplier of diesel. It has not filtered through. I believe there are ships at sea but they have not arrived. In this time of crisis, if the Arab states or OPEC were encouraged on the production line, it would ease prices. It would ease the price if we had surety of getting the product, it was readily available and supply was sufficient.
