Hauliers demand compensation for migrant disruptions in Calais

Neil McDonnell, general manager of the Freight Transport Association of Ireland, will lead a delegation on Tuesday to meet the minister and press their case for compensation over delays connected to the migrant crisis at the French port.
The association said Irish hauliers had lost hundreds of thousands of euro after experiencing huge delays in the UK and France over the summer as a result of strikes by My Ferry Link workers.
