220. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the position regarding the rebate available to hauliers following the recent rise in carbon tax affecting cost of fuel and operating costs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42398/19]

The Diesel Rebate Scheme was introduced in 2013 and is a matter for the Minister for Finance.
The Minister for Finance in his Budget 2020 presentation to the Dáil on 8 October announced that he will in the Finance Bill provide additional relief through the Diesel Rebate Scheme to hauliers, to compensate that sector for the increased cost of fuel.
This question should therefore be directed to his Department.
