There will be more deaths of migrants who are being smuggled in lorry trailers, the Irish Road Haulage Association (IRHA) has warned.

IRHA president Eugene Drennan said drivers lived in “constant fear” of discovering people being smuggled in their lorries, as there are not enough protections in place to stop the issue.
