Irish hauliers to face higher EU tolls

[ibis]

And isnt this crazy when Foreign lorries can pass through 1 infamous toll here for free!

Damn those foreigners and their dirty foreign lorries! Stealing the tolls from our children's mouths...

Hmm - containerisation would seem to be a possible solution, surely? Plus we have an OK rail network when it comes to delivering to the major population centres.

I've no problem with container shipping, I've used it in the past. Quite effective once it's in the system. Getting it in the system here was the main problem.
Not being close to a major population centre made for some delays.

Some shipments make for problems with container shipping, particularly if the sender and reciever are not near rail networks.
Another problem here is the lack of container lift systems at our rail stations. That definitely needs improvement.
