The Road Safety Authority has stalled plans to introduce new requirements for those driving tractors in construction settings, which plant contractors had warned could lead to thousands of redundancies.
The association said the situation was posing significant difficulties for construction businesses already struggling to meeting housing and infrastructure targets. It pointed out that road tyres for tractors cost considerably more and don't work effectively in muddy building sites.Members of the association have also used green diesel for decades, it added.
"Once the directive has been published, the RSA and the Department of Transport will consult with stakeholders in advance of the introduction of any relevant domestic regulations," the RSA said in a statement.
