131 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if her attention has been drawn to the extent to which diesel prices at the pumps are vastly higher than petrol prices; if an investigation has been undertaken to identify the cause of such disparities, having particular regard to the fact that people are encouraged to switch to diesel as a more eco-friendly fuel but are being penalised by the oil companies; if steps are being taken or are expected to be taken to bring diesel prices at least back into line with petrol prices or lower as was previously the case; if she will use her influence at EU level to ensure that consumers here are not in any way victimised by such price structures; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
