IRISH OPERATORS have formed a pact with their government to crack down on illegal haulage, with the introduction of on-the-spot €200 (£138) fines for unlicensed operators.
Junior Transport Minister Ivor Callely launched the 22-point plan at the Irish Road Haulage Association's annual conference in Cork over Faster.
High-visibility licence discs will differentiate. between hire-orreward and own-account operators. First licences will be issued for two years only, during which time the holder will be subject to strict Department of Transport vetting.
CPC holders from failed companies will be interviewed to assess suitability to hold their CPCs.
"The spot fines for unlicensed operators may be reviewed upwards after a trial period," says Candy. The €200 fine comes into effect on 1 November and offenders could be fined several times in one day • The IRHA has elected tipperman Vincent Caulfield as its new president. He replaces Eamonn Morrissey.
