The Government will ensure the survival of the haulage industry with further supports if necessary for its survival, Minister of State for Transport and Logistics Hildegarde Naughton has said.

Amid sky-high fuel costs and growing concerns among hauliers about the viability of their businesses, the Minister told an industry conference that the upcoming budget will focus on minimising costs as much as possible for the industry.
