572. Deputy Kevin O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans to revise the five-axle haulage derogation which was signed into law on the basis that the haulage industry has been under sustained pressure over the past number of years with regard to overheads; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the transition period that was envisaged in 2008 to move to five axle-trucks has been financially unviable for many hauliers who have to change their entire fleet due to the economic downturn; and if his attention has been drawn to the fact that, since SI 5/2003, vehicles have been developed to the highest technical standard, which far outweighs that envisaged in 2003.
