Ms Verona Murphy:

I would say it would be better off because I very much believe that although the initial cost, which we have to cost, is €22 million, it would go straight back in through wages, truck manufacture, sales and other areas. Deputy Broughan must remember that when one talks about equalisation, somebody who drives a petrol car or a diesel car has an alternative but we do not so it is a penalisation for us. It is not as if we can say go ahead because we can do this. We cannot. It is a very serious imposition on a sector that is under a lot of pressure and it will do more harm than good to that sector
