The Claire Byrne Show · Sean Defoe with the latest from cabinet · 28 Apr 2026 podcast

Yeah, so this, the kind of peace deal, I suppose, that ended those protests a couple of weeks ago, at least with the official groups, the official hauliers and farmers.

So there's two elements going to the cabinet this morning, one in relation to agriculture, that's a 100 million euro package, about 15 million of that is going towards fisheries and aquaculture in 85, towards the farming sector and largely through a pretty heavy subsidy for fuel, for green diesel supply.

And essentially, so what they are putting in place, they say, is going to equate to a reduction of about 274 euro for a thousand litres of green diesel.

And, you know, that kind of sounds grand on the face of it, except when you look at the costs of green diesel and how they've gone up, because it was 97 cent a litre in late February.

So, you know, a little under a grand to do a thousand litres.

Now, in a lot of places, it's closer to 180.

So there's still an 800 euro per thousand litre reduction.

difference in that and this is taking away almost 300 euro of it still obviously welcomed by the agriculture sector but not quite meeting those full costs a bit more fulsome when it comes to the haulage sectors that they are getting what's called the road transporters support scheme it's similar to a scheme that they ran

in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine, in that it's direct payments and it's based on how many vehicles that a licensed haulage company has that are over three and a half ton in weight.

So for the first five vehicles, they will get 1,350 euro per month.

That's up from 1,200 euro the last time they ran this scheme for number six to 20, it's 790 euro.
