Irish Road Haulage Association Tells LMFM Why They Chose Not to Get Involved in Today's Protest - 07/04/2026

Motorists were warned to expect significant disruption to major roads today, as a protest took place over the price of fuel sought to slow traffic.The planned protest involved slow-moving convoys on the main roads leading to Dublin.The convoys, which began at around 8am, were organised by local activists who are protesting the price of diesel, petrol and home heating oil caused by the ongoing war in the Middle East.We were joined on The Agenda this morning by Paul McMahon from Tru-Cert Services on the M1 in Castlebellingham, who was out protesting as we spoke. We were also joined on the line now by Ger Hyland - President of the Irish Road Haulage Association, who is going to tell us about why they chose not to get involved in today's protest.
