Hauliers threaten industrial action

ROAD hauliers have warned of industrial action over controversial plans by the government to place a limit on the height of lorries operating in Ireland.

The Irish Road Hauliers Association has reacted angrily to recent plans announced by Transport Minister, Martin Cullen, to introduce a ban on so-called super trucks.

IRHA spokesperson, Jimmy Quinn, said there was a real risk of blockades to ports unless the government was willing to reconsider.
