Hauliers criticise new Dublin Port charges as 'hidden tariffs'

The Irish Road Haulage Association has criticised new charges at Dublin Port. The port says the charges are necessary to fund vital infrastructure works.

The Irish Road Haulage Association has branded new charges at Dublin Port as anti-business and "self-sabotage on Irish trade interests".

The new charges at Dublin Port have been sanctioned by Government to fund infrastructure projects at the port. Up to €165bn of trade flows through Dublin Port each year and the location handles 80% of all containerised freight that comes into the Republic of Ireland.
