Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Road Haulage Industry: IRHA and FTA

11:40 am

Mr. Eoin Gavin:

A committee will be established in May of this year involving the Departments of the Environment, Community and Local Government, Finance and Transport, Tourism and Sport. It will examine the entire issue of road tax charges, including the operation of a Eurovignette-type system. We need to be at the table at that committee because we are the industry experts. We have solutions and we know what happens in Europe. It is important for us to be part of that.
