Petrol stations refusing vouchers
Begley said petrol companies were not honouring vouchers and offered to provide evidence. The Minister maintained that Bord Fáilte’s information showed the scheme was working satisfactorily, prompting a heated exchange.
Can the Minister tell us why petrol companies are not honouring the vouchers when they are presented?

If I can produce evidence for the Minister that such is not the case, will he investigate it?
Comment on this
Yes, but my information is that it is working satisfactorily and it is a very bad business to attempt to suggest in this House that it is not when all the information I have from Bord Fáilte is that it is working satisfactorily. This is sabotaging the efforts of Bord Fáilte to improve the tourist situation.

I can tell the Minister that he is being led up the garden path by Bord Fáilte. He does not know what is happening.
