I thank the Deputy. We have spoken a number of times about the impact of high fuel prices on hauliers and road transport operators and also on the agricultural sector. I will ask the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, to come back to the Deputy with a little more detail, but in regard to the fuel rebate for hauliers, we are providing a grant of €100 per truck in addition to the fuel rebate. In addition, a week or so ago we reduced the excise on green diesel and marked gas oil by about 2 cent per litre. Again, I will ask the Minister for Finance to engage with the Deputy on that in a little bit more detail.
