Question 151: To ask the Minister for Transport if he will facilitate a compromise between the HMRC and a transport company (details supplied) in County Donegal in respect of that company's historic PAYE and NIC debts in view of the fact that the company is unable to pay these debts and in view of the fact that the company will fold if a compromise is not reached, which will result in the loss of 100 jobs in the north-west; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Company in question is a private company licensed to provide passenger bus services in County Donegal under the Road Transport Act, 1932 and cross border bus passenger services under Council Regulation (EEC) No 684/92. It is unfortunate that a long established transport company is facing financial difficulties. However, it would be inappropriate for me as Minister for Transport to get involved in the financial affairs of any private company.
