But speaking on RTÉ Radio One’s Morning Ireland programme, Eugene Drennan, President of the Irish Road Haulage Association , said hauliers will meet in the next fortnight to discuss whether they should protest the proposals. “Nobody has seen the specific details in any sector — so that’s concern number one,” Drennan told The Journal this morning following his radio appearance.
The price of AdBlue — a diesel additive that reduces nitrogen oxide emissions in exhaust gases — has “doubled in price in recent months”, he said, due to sky-rocketing natural gas prices across the European Union. Earlier this month, hauliers told The Journal that many Eastern European drivers used to drive UK landbridge routes from Ireland to mainland Europe. But since Brexit, those routes have become more difficult, the result of extra regulatory and customs checks, resulting in long delays.
Drennan said that many firms that use haulage companies have “steadfastly refused” to accept any increase to transport rates, despite the cost increases that trucking companies have incurred.
It's all going to kick off now.
Ohh…don’t worry EamonRyan will deliver your groceries on his fkn bicycle he unpacks from his car for the last 1 mile of commute…
About time some sector took on the lunacy of indulging those manic crusties in Parliament with policies designed to sink the economy, more power to the hauliers 👏
