The carriage of cattle, sheep and pigs within the State is exempted from the road haulage licensing regulations under Section 2 of the Road Transport Act 1978. If an operator is to engage in such carriage outside the State between EU Member States, an International Road Haulage Operator Licence incorporating a Community Licence is required.
