IRISH ROAD HAULAGE ASSOCIATION

The Irish Road Haulage Association (IRHA) is the recognised national representative body for the licensed road-haulage industry in the Republic of Ireland. Founded in 1973, the IRHA champions the interests of hauliers who operate under Road Haulage Operator Licences issued by the Department of Transport, promoting professionalism, excellence and safety across the sector.

Members benefit from a comprehensive package that includes lobbying and representation at both national and European levels, liaison with government departments, and practical tools such as the IRHA truck tag for discounted East Link tolls. The association also runs a professional HGV training programme, offers subsistence and vehicle-operating cost support, and provides corporate partnership opportunities. With ten regional branches, the IRHA serves hauliers throughout Ireland, ensuring their voices are heard and their operations run smoothly.
