Mr. Niall Cody:
There is no possibility that, at any time in the near future, the UK will move from rebated fuel. They have done their tax gap analysis and see a problem in Northern Ireland but they believe it is only a problem in Northern Ireland. I personally think they are wrong and do not see how, if people engage in fuel laundering here for the margins they get, they would not do it in the UK too, maybe in Liverpool, Birmingham etc.
