Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Issues Facing the Road Haulage Industry: Irish Road Haulage Association

2:00 am

Mr. John Nolan:

I have a final comment. Some speakers asked what they can do to help the industry. We have a fuel rebate but propose in our budget a green fuel rebate. It helps the industry. It will be said that people are not claiming the rebate, but that is for their own reasons. However, most people who are serious about this business need the money.

Someone else asked how to get new people into the industry. Maybe there could be some form of tax credit scheme for people who want to be a truck driver or mechanic. I refer to both the people driving and the people working with them.
