Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Environmental Impact of Fiscal Instruments: Discussion (Resumed)

4:00 pm

Ms Verona Murphy:

There is no doubt hauliers are well known for reinvesting their funds into their own businesses. That is from where a new fleet of trucks could be generated, without a shadow of a doubt, if there was such an incentive and our members knew that it would not be removed. At a time when we have many destabilising and chaotic Brexit forums and when there is fluctuation in the price of a barrel of oil, there needs to be stability for Ireland. The impact of such an incentive would be twofold for the sector.
