Darragh O'Brien (Dublin Fingal East, Fianna Fail)

This has not been raised directly with me yet. I welcome that the committee is meeting the road hauliers. For the next bilateral meeting we have at transport level, which will be in the autumn, it might be helpful, after the committee meets the hauliers, to write to me formally. I will raise it. There is a certain process to getting things on the agenda at bilateral meetings. The Cathaoirleach can certainly be assured that I will raise it post the committee's meeting with Ger and the team there. I will write to my counterpart in advance of the bilateral meeting later in the autumn. I will be in Carlingford on the environment side on 4 July for a bilateral meeting on the energy-environment side, so that does not cover this, but the next will be September. It seems unquestionably contradictory to me in an all-Ireland economy.
