- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Fuel Prices: Discussion (23 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: I ask Mr. Kavanagh to send the committee a follow-up note on that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Fuel Prices: Discussion (23 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Before I call others to contribute, I wish to ask Mr. Drennan something. Under the current scheme, once the price goes above €1.27, the rebate reaches a maximum of 7.5 cent when the price reaches €1.43. Am I correct in that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Fuel Prices: Discussion (23 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: What was the basis for the €1.27 and the €1.43?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Fuel Prices: Discussion (23 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: I am not interested in that. I understand it all. I am more interested in the basis for setting those rates. We are looking at a greatly increased price now. The rates of €1.27 and €1.43 were not picked out of the air.

Kieran O'Donnell: Mr. Drennan is missing my point. If there was a logic around-----

Kieran O'Donnell: If this is the way the IRHA is approaching the matter, has it considered whether, if the same basis were to be used now, it could be the basis for a new scheme?

Kieran O'Donnell: Mr. Drennan might provide-----

Kieran O'Donnell: If the IRHA wants us to, we can follow up on this matter. Is that its main request at the moment?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Fuel Prices: Discussion (23 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Then it might revert to us on it. There is no point in us pushing an abstract. This is something that is real. Are the IRHA's members making money at the moment?

Kieran O'Donnell: I am aware that I am asking the obvious question. Mr. Ryan will be aware, given that we have discussed it. He is one of our local men in Limerick. What is the minimum that operators would have to get under a rebate scheme to put them in a position where they were financially viable again?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Fuel Prices: Discussion (23 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Then use us as a committee to assist in that regard. Turning to Mr. Kavanagh and the matter of coach operators, my understanding is that the CTTC wants to use the rural bus link scheme for school transport and to reintroduce a previous rebate scheme for a certain period. Are those the two requests?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Fuel Prices: Discussion (23 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Will the CTTC revert to us with more details so that we can follow up on it?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Fuel Prices: Discussion (23 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: We will follow up on it. We have received the requests, but for us to do something of a constructive nature now, we need the witnesses to follow up with us.

Kieran O'Donnell: Every scheme must be flexible on price. That is the point I am trying to make about the €1.27. I am interested in the basis of the scheme. There must be a basis. Otherwise, this would be too abstract. There can be a scheme that swings in and out.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Fuel Prices: Discussion (23 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: We need a bit more detail.
