Séamus Brennan (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

I will consider the matter. I do not recall any discussions at the Council of Ministers about cross-border free travel arrangements.

Other member states do not offer free schemes to the extent they are offered in Ireland. This country is unique in its schemes for free fuel and free travel. Not many countries offer these schemes and few, if any, have cross-border arrangements. I will check those facts for the Deputy but this is my current information.
