“People will remember in the last few months, almost, you went to the forecourt and the price would be at €2.10, €2.15 a litre.Mr Ryan added: “One of the important thing is we maintain an appropriate economic approach to this cost of living crisis so we can afford measures we have to take and in that economic approach you can’t just rely on corporate tax because that’s not a given so we need…and excise duty and the likes of those do give us a real broad base.
“One of the things that might help us is we agreed last week to further measure to help the haulage industry. “We have an €18million scheme that is targeted at the smaller haulage operators and that will kick in around March so if there is and I expect there will be a return of VAT, excise other levies it will be compensate for by that measure.”
