Hauliers seek urgent meeting with Cowen
The Irish Road Haulage Association has requested an urgent meeting with the incoming Taoiseach Brian Cowen as fuel prices soar.
In a strongly worded letter to Brian Cowen, the association says it's extremely concerned about the implications for the industry and the economy.
It says Ireland is the most truck dependent country in Europe.
IRHA president Jimmy Quinn says the Government should reform the taxation system for commercial fuel as rising prices are putting some hauliers out of business.
