📌 Episode Description:
In this episode of Interlinks, I speak with Jarlath Sweeney, owner and editor of Fleet Transport Ireland, the country's leading publication group for the transport and commercial vehicle sector.
Jarlath shares the remarkable story of his journey from a family haulage business in County Mayo to becoming a key figure in Irish transport media. We explore the past, present, and future of Ireland’s road transport sector—from the legacy of local hauliers to the increasing role of sustainability, intermodal logistics, and digital transformation.
We also discuss:

🔋 The transition to electric and alternative fuels like HVO
🌍 EU policy impacts and the Irish response
🛤️ The growing potential of rail freight and intermodal solutions
👷 Labour shortages, costs, and decarbonisation challenges
Jarlath brings decades of experience and a unique perspective from the heart of the industry. Whether you’re in logistics, manufacturing, policymaking, or just curious about how goods move across Ireland and beyond—this episode is a must-listen.
