Minister of State at the Department of Transport

Provision of funding to the Irish Road Haulage Association (IRHA) was sanctioned by two Government decisions in 2000, in support of the strategic development of the haulage industry.  From 2000 to 2009 this Department provided funding to the IRHA totalling approximately €1,330,000.  The funding programme was discontinued from 2010 and no further funding has since been provided to the IRHA.
