The Clare-based former President of the Irish Road Hauliers Association claims Ireland its an outlier in Europe when it comes to allowing tractors on motorways. The IRHA is calling on the Government to ban tractors and slow-moving construction vehicles from using the motorway network. Among the issues being pointed to are the level of congestion caused by these vehicles as well as the safety risks they pose in heavy fog and on stretches of road with blind bends. Ennis haulier Eugene Drennan says no other country in Europe has such a lax approach.
