The full story
Truckers, hauliers, and farmers have announced plans for a protest on Friday, November 13, 2026, in Dublin and other major cities. The action is organised by groups involved in previous fuel protests held in April. Participants intend to voice concerns over the rising cost of doing business and upcoming increases in road tolls, including on the M50 and Dublin Port Tunnel. The protest is scheduled to coincide with an EU Council summit in Dublin. While the Irish Road Haulage Association is not officially participating, its leadership has acknowledged the frustration among drivers. Gardaí have warned that they will facilitate peaceful, lawful protest but will not tolerate any obstruction of roads, motorways, or critical infrastructure during the high-profile international events taking place in the city.
