Hauliers threaten toll boycott

HAULIERS are to decide tomorrow if they will boycott tolls on the M50 barrier-free scheme, which begins next Saturday.

The Irish Road Haulage Association (IRHA) holds a board meeting tomorrow to decide if it will begin a “civil disobedience” campaign in protest at the removal of discounts of up to 15% available to HGV drivers on the Westlink.

The National Roads Authority (NRA) takes over control of the Westlink on August 30 after the Government’s €488m buyout from National Toll Roads.
