The news in the budget that the maximum tax on an average heavy goods vehicle will fall from €5,000 to €900 is great news for hauliers in my area. In light of that news, could the Taoiseach give a commitment to the speedy enactment of the road transport Bill, which would reduce the administrative burden on people seeking to transport people or goods? There is a considerable administrative burden in this area so this Bill would be a great help.

This is part of the budgetary process and will be acted upon administratively. The Bill to which Deputy O'Reilly refers is due next year. The impact of the decision by the Government will follow through from the budget.
