Motorists and hauliers at the end of the road

YOU publicised demands from the road lobby that in response to higher oil prices the Government should bail them out by cutting fuel taxes (Irish Examiner, August 9).

Anyone but the road lobby spindoctors would accept that an increase in costs of a raw material should be borne by the user.

Everything is taxed, but only the road lobby has the audacity to object to taxation when the services they are provided with (roads, etc) are free of charge.
