Diesel and fuel excise duties
Deputy McGrath raises fuel and diesel excise duties, warning that costs are crippling hauliers and could affect agricultural diesel; the Ceann Comhairle directs him to the Finance Bill or a parliamentary question.
Is there any promised legislation in the Department of Finance relating to diesel, fuel and excise duty?

I appreciate the big problem, but I have a problem too. I have ruled Members out of order on the Order of Business because the issue raised is not in keeping with the rules. I must apply the rules equally to everybody, including Deputy McGrath.

This is crippling hauliers and now there is talk of agri-diesel being included. There are other ways of dealing with that than going down that road.
