Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will restructure commercial vehicle road tax in line with comparable costs in Northern Ireland, in order to save jobs in the haulage sector, as Irish hauliers pay €4,000 per annum per truck for a six-axle articulated vehicle, whereas in the North they pay £640 per truck, and an Irish haulage operator must also contribute £10 per day per vehicle to access Northern Ireland, on routes that previously had no charge prior to 1 April 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
