People Who Bought Christmas Gifts Online May Not Receive Their Purchases This Week
Around 250 Irish trucks are stuck in the UK trying to access mainland Europe.
The president of the Irish Road Haulage Association, Eugene Drennan, says consumers should track where their purchased goods are: People who have shopped online may not get packages for Christmas now, and they would want to check their traceability checks this morning to see where it is now and is it on the way. Because when you go on to these major sites, you may end up shopping in Germany, you know, it would be signalled on the website but people may not realise they re shopping in Germany, and that may not get through this week.

With unavoidable delays at Dublin port, drivers will be told to take the bullocks for a spin up around the airport to allow for congestion to ease, Irish Road Haulage Association president Eugene Drennan told the
Irish Farmers Journal.
Irish transport authorities recently confirmed that Brexit-related traffic at Dublin Port will be rerouted to a Dublin Airport car park.
Drennan said: “These animals will be loaded up in the west in the early hours of the morning headed for the port. On arrival, drivers will be told to take them for a spin up around the airport to see the planes take off.”
