The Ennis company is an award winning firm
difficult: “It’s bad enough this year, to be honest, and we’re feeling the pinch. I’m down four lorries and I’m trying my utmost to hold on to what I have. The price of diesel is absolutely outrageous at this stage. It’s beyond a joke and it’s very disappointing to hear that there’s no chance of a fuel rebate for hauliers.” Like the rest of us, Kieran has his fingers crossed that some sort of recovery is around the corner: “You would hope it would pick up a bit and that we’ll be able to find a bit more work. We got some work there on the
Rosslare Bypass and you keep your eye opened for other opportunities. The way things are, you’d travel anywhere to find a bit of work because you’re losing money when the trucks are parked up during the day. “We have six lads here full-time at the moment and hopefully we can sustain that and go forward.” As for the future, Kieran says his good working relationship with Ryan’s Quarry will be integral to the long-term prospects of Kieran Kelly Haulage: “Our main line has always been Ryan’s Quarries. That’s my priority. I have a proven track record with them
and they look after me as best they can. I like to think I provide them with a quality service and I will continue to do so. “Hard work got us where we are today and we’ll continue to work hard,” he concludes. Kieran Kelly Haulage Ltd.
