Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Issues Facing the Road Haulage Industry: Irish Road Haulage Association

2:00 am

Mr. Paul Jackman:

Mr. Nolan might want to come in on this. When we developed the traineeship we had a few meetings with representatives of the Irish coach association, including JJ Kavanagh, because they developed a similar traineeship based on our model and had the same problem. Being a mechanic is a quite a physical job so there is an attrition rate that is greater at the truck end of it and mechanics leave the profession earlier. Mr. Nolan or Mr. McArdle might want to address this because as their scale of business is greater than mine they might have a greater handle on that issue.
