Hauliers may block motorway in toll charge protest

A BLOCKADE of a new €200 million motorway may be mounted by truck drivers furious over toll charges.

The hauliers’ campaign for cuts in toll costs on the Fermoy by-pass escalated this week as they warned they may also run candidates in next year’s general election if the concessions they want are not granted.

The toll road which opened less than two months ago, is operated by Direct Route.
