Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The first thing to say about hauliers is they are very well served by the representative body and its president, Verona Murphy. The Deputy is right to say that potentially Brexit will create significant disruption in a no-deal context. I encourage all businesses linked to the haulage sector to take the advice available to them to ensure their paperwork is in place for the consequences of a no-deal Brexit and the changes in trading conditions that would flow from it. We are working closely with the sector but with regard to decisions on the budget the Deputy will have to wait until next week to see.
