As indicated in my reply to Dail question no. 687 answered on Wednesday 24 September, I have no direct function in regard to this matter. Allegations of uncompetitive behaviour among hauliers are a matter for the Competition Authority. I am not aware of any complaints to my Department of any uncompetitive behaviour in the liquid transport market. In the normal course, complaints would be referred to the Competition Authority.
