"We want to get an agreement, we want to support businesses and individuals through this difficult time, and we want the protest to end."
"We had a good, constructive session this afternoon with representatives from the haulage and coaching bus sector as well - a lot of work done."
"A senior source said the scheme will be part of a broader package on the fuel crisis."
The Department of Transport is developing a transport support scheme to provide direct payments to businesses impacted by high fuel costs. Ministers Darragh O'Brien and Sean Canney engaged with industry representatives, including the Irish Road Haulage Association and the Freight Transport Association of Ireland. The initiative aims to support businesses and end fuel protests. O'Brien emphasized the importance of reaching an agreement and expressed gratitude for the constructive discussions. Additionally, a temporary derogation of driving hours regulations for hauliers transporting liquid fuel has been approved due to ongoing fuel protests.
