- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Mar 2022)
Michael Fitzmaurice: I will be very clear with the Taoiseach. This is not a delay. This High Court decision has taken away the powers the State gave to every council in the country in 1949. Is that clear enough for the Taoiseach? What is he going to do about that? I will be clear on the second assertion I made. The Taoiseach is closer to the Attorney General than I am.

Michael Fitzmaurice: I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee. I have several questions. I do not know which of the witnesses deals with the hackers hauling oil from the port in Dublin. Is it Mr. McPartlan who deals with oil tankers or is it the filling stations?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Fuel Prices: Discussion (23 Mar 2022)
Michael Fitzmaurice: I will ask the question. One morning a large operator quoted a price of €1.40 a litre for green diesel and €1.35 for kerosene.

The following morning, the prices were increased to €1.60 and €1.55.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Fuel Prices: Discussion (23 Mar 2022)
Michael Fitzmaurice: It was in the past few weeks. The following morning the price was €1.60 per litre. That oil company did not import oil from foreign seas on four different occasions that day. It was able to sell green diesel to a person in Sligo at €1.20 per litre even though it was advertising it online at €1.60. What type of gouging was that in the green diesel sector?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Fuel Prices: Discussion (23 Mar 2022)
Michael Fitzmaurice: It is gouging in my opinion because that is the fact. I looked at it. I was at a meeting of plant contractors that evening in Mullingar. A group of people was looking at what went on that day. Can anyone justify it?

Michael Fitzmaurice: It was able to sell the same oil to someone at €1.20 a litre even though it was quoting a price of €1.60. How could it do this? It sold diesel to a contractor at €1.20 even though the price quoted online was €1.60.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Fuel Prices: Discussion (23 Mar 2022)
