Comment on this
I propose to take Questions Nos. 165 and 169 together.
The application form for the Road Transporters Support Scheme required information strictly necessary to confirm the applicants eligibility for support. Applicants were not required to indicate their county of establishment as part of the process. Consequently, my Department is unable to provide the Deputy with the requested data.
