The Irish Road Haulage Association (IRHA) has issued a stark warning against the potential withdrawal of government fuel supports, describing such a move as ‘political madness’.
With fuel prices already exerting pressure on the transportation sector, the IRHA argues that removing these supports would exacerbate the situation, potentially leading to increased costs for consumers and businesses alike.
The association’s president highlighted the critical role of fuel supports in maintaining stability within the industry, which is essential for Ireland’s economic health. The removal of these supports, he cautioned, could lead to significant disruptions in the supply chain.
As discussions continue, the IRHA is urging policymakers to consider the broader economic implications and the vital importance of the haulage sector in Ireland’s infrastructure.
