Hauliers to get fuel excise relief and diesel rebate boost under Government plans

Fuel excise relief and enhanced diesel rebates form part of wider Government measures responding to rising energy costs

Ger Hyland, president of the IRHA, said the Government committed to 'substantial supports for the haulage industry'.

Hauliers will receive relief on fuel excise duties and an enhanced diesel rebate scheme under plans to be announced by the Government next week.

The Irish Road Haulage Association (IRHA) met with transport minister Darragh O’Brien on Thursday morning, with promises made at the meeting that “substantial supports” for the industry would be announced after next Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting.
