Hauliers hopeful of securing rebate on fuel tax

The Irish Road Haulage Association is relatively confident it can secure a fuel tax rebate from the Department of Finance in order to combat the use of illegal fuel and inflation.

IRHA president Eoin Gavin said the department had agreed at a meeting with the hauliers that the current price of fuel was unsustainable.

“They acknowledged that the current situation with the cost of fuel is unsustainable,” said Mr Gavin.
