Truckers who are planning a second protest convoy to Dublin tomorrow, are being asked to consider the impact it will have on retail outlets in the Capital.
The newly-formed Irish Truckers and Haulage Association Against Fuel Prices is organising the 24-hour protest, in response to high costs of petrol and diesel.
Convoys of trucks will travel from Cork, Galway, Donegal, Wexford and Monaghan to Dublin early in the morning. The Cork Convoy is set to depart from Kennedy Quay at 3am tomorrow morning.
However, Richard Guiney of Dublin Town, which represents traders in the Capital, said this is coming at a very difficult time for businesses in Dublin, with trade already down.
"So we would also ask for the hobbyist to, perhaps, you know, have some consideration for people who are struggling in business. And that really need this two weeks, I don't think it's an anybody's interests to put other people out of business. You know, we can all make our views known without having to undermine other people's livelihoods and they just asked me to consider that."
