Tipp TD calls for Sinn Féin to scrap the border tax on Irish hauliers

The removal of the Heavy Goods Vehicle levy for vehicles crossing into the north would ease financial pressure for hauliers across Ireland.

The Chair of the Oireachtas Committee on Transport said the HGV levy in the north is an unjust tax that undermines North-South cooperation.

Deputy Michael Murphy is now calling on Sinn Féin to help get rid of the HGV levy:

It’s time for Sinn Féin to come out of hiding and stand up for the All-Ireland trade of which hauliers are the driving force. If they are serious about unity and practical north south alignment scrapping the HGV levy must be an immediate priority.
