1653. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on correspondence (details supplied) regarding haulage companies from Germany, Holland, Scotland and Northern Ireland flouting European cabotage legislation which bans foreign hauliers from doing more that three journeys in a country before leaving; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The enforcement of cabotage legislation is a matter for the Road Safety Authority and the Garda Síochána. I believe that the enforcement authorities have investigated this matter and have put in place a new procedure to ensure that international haulage operators are checked to verify that they are compliant with cabotage regulations.
