Ms Verona Murphy:

On consultation, I say to Mr. Clancy that the Irish Road Hauliers Association is a voluntary organisation. I sit here today on behalf of my members because I am a small indigenous haulier trying to survive. We do not have time to attend meetings that do not yield answers. Once is enough to ask. I also ask Mr. O'Donoghue to tell me when we will get the answers to the questions we have asked, although Mr. Collins says we have not engaged. This is why I am here today. Do not accuse us of not trying to co-operate. There is a level at which we must cut loose. When a consultation becomes a dictatorship, it is a waste of my time and that of my members.
