I propose to take Questions Nos. 140 to 143, inclusive, together.

I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the tax paid on a litre of petrol and diesel selling at the stated prices is as set out in the following schedule. I would draw to the Deputy's attention that excise on both petrol and diesel is relatively low in Ireland compared to our main trading partners, particularly the UK.
