Mr. Kevin McPartlan:

The testing of fuel is set by a European standard. That is why we look to Europe. The compliance in Ireland is guaranteed by a independent lab that conducts the sampling and testing. Its reports go to the Department of Transport and onto Europe from there. The Deputy said she will forward me evidence. I am not suggesting that no haulier has ever had a maintenance problem with a vehicle, but how can it be said that those problems are a result of fuel not meeting a standard, which we know is being met? It is objectively and independently assessed.
