Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

In recent budgets we have put in place measures to give particular support to the haulage sector in recognition of the pressures those in that sector face and the likely charges that will happen as a result of Brexit in the future.

On the question of seeking to reduce prices further, the Deputy and his colleagues are on their feet every day seeking more investment in public services and for us to deliver better services to their constituents. We need taxes that enable us to pay for those. We will ensure, through the passage of the next budget and in everything we do, that we give all the support we can to working families, but we need to ensure we have a tax base that can deliver the improved public services the Deputy and his colleagues call for every day.
