Transport Minister Addresses Conference
Q
uoting an ancient Chinese Philosopher, Minister Noel Dempsey T.D., told IRHA delegates, “We live in interesting times.” He continued by informing those present that Government would be introducing unpopular but necessary measures in order that our economy will be ready for the upturn when it comes. He promised that the Transport Forum he is setting up will have representation from the IRHA. In a move that the Minister may have thought will be popular with hauliers, he outlined proposals to allow a C.P.C. holder represent up to four companies and fifty vehicles. In reply, newly elected IRHA President Vincent Caulfield welcomed the Minister’s comments and paid tribute to the working relationship he had with him on improving the N5 when he was in a different Ministry. He also asked the Minister to work with the Association in trying to eliminate illegal operators and to recognise the contribution we make as an industry.
