IRHA say migrant crisis costing thousands to members
Their President made the comments in relation to their members in the Port of Calais.
The Irish Road Haulage Association says the migrant crisis at the Port of Calais is putting huge financial pressure on their members.
The IRHA claim that many drivers are being assaulted by migrants desperate to cross the channel tunnel to the UK and have described the situation as 'out of control'.
They say there has been little change to the situation in the last year and many driver's vehicles are continuing to be damaged with stones and timber objects and windows smashed.
Speaking to RedFM News, President of the IRHA Verona Murphy says the situation is costing thousands.
