Callely will consult on maximum height issue

Junior Minister at the Department of Transport, Ivor Callely is committed to conducting a consultation process with industry and other vested interests, before introducing a new maximum height limit.

Minister Callely met a delegation from the IRHA at his offices recently to discuss the new maximum height limit. The minister said he would embark on a consultation process with industry at large and other vested interests before making any decisions on a new upper limit.

IRHA President, Eamonn Morrissey commented: “In reality, we are one of the only vested interests. However, the people we carry goods for have a vested interest. I sincerely hope IBEC take a proactive role in this process. If they don’t, they could be letting a big piece of their competitiveness slip away.”

He continued: “I hope that this consultation is not being carried out to make it look like fair play. I am concerned that some of the other interested parties are giving the impression that the limit has been decided.”
