The Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers’ Association has welcomed the news that vehicles transporting fodder will receive a special derogation under recent height restriction legislation.

ICSA president Patrick Kent said, “It was critically important that loads of fodder were not subject to the new height restrictions because the cost implications would be far too severe. Minister Varadkar has taken the common-sense approach here and I very much welcome the exemption.”

“I commend Martin Heydon TD for bringing forward the proposal to create the exemption for these types of loads.”

ICSA president Sean McNamara has said he is urgently seeking clarification regarding the recent targeting of Irish livestock trucks by Irish officials at the port of Cherbourg. “ICSA has been contacted by several of the livestock hauliers affected who claim they were singled out by the Irish officials for additional inspections by the French authorities while non livestock carrying trucks were left alone. This was despite these inspections having no relevance to animal welfare,” he said.
