Clare Haulier Calls For Joined Up Thinking To Prevent Overgrown Wildlife Impacting Road Safety

A Clare haulier is calling for joined up thinking in order to prevent overgrown trees and hedgerows impacting on road safety. The Irish Road Haulage Association claims the RSA should lead a campaign to encourage local authorities and landowners ensure any dangerous vegetation are cleared from roadsides. Despite open season only beginning at the start of this month, laws are in place for branches that cause an obstruction to be cleared. Ennis based IRHA deputy vice-president, Eugene Drennan, says it's urgently needed ahead of potential upcoming storms.
