Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

The Minister's answers are unbelievable and scandalous. All vehicles run on fuel and the cost of the input is of vital importance. Is the Minister concerned by the impact on public transport providers, including taxi drivers, bus operators and so on, of the increase in fuel prices? Is he concerned by the impact of increases on our two major airlines, Ryanair and Aer Lingus? Did the Minister have any input into the imposition of the new air travel tax? Did he give the Minister for Finance any guidance in this matter?
