Irish Freight Sector Expresses Disappointment Over Government Transport Report

in Logistics & Transportation

The freight industry in Ireland has expressed disappointment with the government’s latest transport report, titled “A strategic approach to the improved efficiency of the transport system in Ireland.” Industry leaders have criticized the report for missing a crucial opportunity to address significant challenges in goods distribution across the nation.

FTA Ireland (FTAI), a representative body for businesses involved in the movement of goods across Irish borders, has voiced concerns that the report overlooks the critical role of the freight sector in the national economy. Aidan Flynn, chief executive of FTAI, highlighted the importance of logistics to Ireland’s economic prosperity, particularly in supplying essential goods and raw materials to various sectors.

Flynn stated, “Logistics is at the heart of Ireland’s economic prosperity… yet this report does nothing to improve the way freight is moved in Ireland. This is a huge missed opportunity.” He pointed out the report’s failure to address key issues such as the need to decarbonize operations and the growing restrictions on deliveries, especially in urban centers like Dublin.

The industry’s frustration is compounded by what is perceived as a lack of acknowledgment of the freight sector’s contributions during the COVID-19 pandemic, where logistics operations were deemed essential to the economy. “During the Covid pandemic, logistics movements were deemed ‘essential’ to the Irish economy, but it is evident that this situation has now reversed… the needs of our industry are being ignored when it comes to national and local government planning and thinking,” Flynn remarked.

Additionally, the report has been criticized for not providing actionable recommendations for transitioning the industry towards a greener future. Flynn emphasized the industry’s commitment to decarbonization but noted the absence of proposals for significant infrastructure developments, such as a nationwide refueling network for alternative fuels or substantial upgrades to the national rail network to support a shift to rail freight.

“The logistics industry is ready to do its part on the road to a net-zero future, but needs concrete recommendations and support at a national government level to make this happen,” Flynn added. The freight sector is calling for more concrete measures and government support to address these critical challenges effectively.
