French blockade sees Irish trucks stranded
The port is one of a number hit by the nationwide protest which has seen the trucks, loaded with meat, vegetables and other produce, unable to leave.
The Irish Road Haulage Association is urging the Department of Transport to pressure the French government into resolving the row. Freight operator Derek Lenehan, who has a lorry with €40,000 worth of potatoes bound for Dublin stuck at the port, said yesterday he was concerned they will perish if left any longer.
