Arising out of the Minister's reply that he is not aware of any great difficulties, has the Minister or his Department received representations from the hauliers association in regard to what they consider unfair restrictions on Irish trucks operating on the Continent and about hijacking and the safety and security of their operations? Is the Minister aware that these representations have been made?

That is a separate question.

Leaving out the area of hijacking, have there been representations about the other matters?

What other matters?

The restrictions which Irish hauliers feel are there.

Did I not answer that question in detail for the past ten minutes? Is the Deputy not listening?

What I heard was that the Minister was unaware that there are any problems.

If there are, the Deputy should submit them.

He admitted there is a problem.

If the Deputy knows of any extraordinary ones he should notify me of them. What are they?

Does the Minister accept now that there are problems?

I am not aware of them. There is no problem.

There is no problem in relation to Italy?

It is not a problem. We are at an advanced stage of negotiation with the Italian authorities with a view to concluding a further bilateral agreement. What Deputy Bruton said and what Deputy O'Keeffe said are two separate questions.

The Minister contradicted himself.

The Deputy is talking about something he knows nothing about.

So long as the problem is solved.

Order.
