Calls for the governement to act following incident in Calais
The call comes from the Irish Road Haulage Association.
The Irish Road Haulage Association is calling on the Government to take action, following yesterday's chaos at Calais port in France.
Hundreds of migrants tried to jump onto lorries as they queued outside the docks after the French port was closed in a dispute involving ferry staff.
Security has increased today, while searches are being scaled up both sides of the Channel.
The Irish Road Haulage Association is calling on the Government to make urgent representations to the UK and French authorities
regarding the escalating threat to Irish international truck drivers travelling through Calais.
Speaking to RedFM News president of the IRHA Verona Murphy says drivers lives are being put at risk as no action is being taken against migrants.
