Ireland does not go it alone in decisions in relation to the enforcement of sanctions, we do it collectively within the European Union, and 1 July is not in itself a date when an investigation has to be concluded because that does not…

The excise cuts can't go on indefinitely and that the Government had to take decisions based on the reality on the ground rather than the threat of further fuel protests.
