Further to rising fuel prices…
…via RTE News:
The Government has agreed a temporary emergency support measures to assist haulierss.
Under the scheme, €100 per week will be paid for every heavy goods vehicle listed on a road haulage operator’s licence.
The payment will be made over a period of eight weeks, at which point a review will take place.
The total cost of the scheme to the exchequer will be €18m.

What about poor taxi drivers? I’m going on the batter later on and have to taxi it in and out of town from Lucan, I suppose they will be putting up their fares too?

With the fuel price rises it makes even more sense.
