Road hauliers may launch protests over toll roads

HAULIERS may be about to embark on a series of nationwide protests in response to price hikes in road tolls in the last two years.

At the annual Irish Road Hauliers Association (IRHA) conference in Bunratty, Co Clare today, delegates are expected to vote on a motion tabled by the IRHA’s Dublin branch calling for the protests.

IRHA president Eamon Morrissey said yesterday: “The continuing talk of more road tolls around the country just serves to incense us. Our industry just can’t absorb these costs.”
