Minister announces Public Consultation on Irelandâs First Ten-Year Strategy for the Haulage Sector
Minister of State for Transport Hildegarde Naughton TD has today launched a public consultation on a Ten-Year Strategy for the Haulage Sector â the first of its kind for Ireland.
The Programme for Government includes a commitment to develop such a Strategy and this consultation document is the first step. This will be the first time a strategy focused specifically on the haulage sector has been developed in Ireland.
Launching the consultation Minister Naughton commented:
âThe haulage sector plays a vitally important socio-economic role. This has been demonstrated more than ever during the current Covid crisis, throughout which road hauliers have continued to keep supply chains open both nationally and internationally.
