Irish hauliers paused Dublin protest after minister intervened; talks ongoing over fuel costs and carbon tax.

Hauliers in Ireland have called off a planned Dublin protest after Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien intervened, with talks ongoing between the Irish Road Haulage Association and the government. The protest, threatened over rising fuel prices tied to Middle East tensions and the carbon tax, was suspended to allow for dialogue. While no immediate resolution has been reached, the IRHA says further action may follow if concerns about fuel costs and industry sustainability are not addressed.
