Super truck ruling has no relevance here - Taoiseach

An EU court ruling which overturned a ban on lorries using a stretch of road in Austria has no relevance to the issue of so called ‘super-trucks’ in Ireland, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern said today.

He was speaking following the decision by the European Court of Justice on a regional government ban imposed on trucks of more than 7.5 tonnes on a stretch of main road linking Germany and Italy through the Austrian Tyrol.
