Gardaí are advising commuters to plan for potential traffic disruption in the Dublin region tomorrow due to a planned protest involving truck drivers.

The protest is being organised by a group which calls itself ‘The People of Ireland Against Fuel Prices’.

It was formerly known as ‘The Irish Trucker and Haulage Association against Fuel Prices’ and organised two protests in the capital last year.

The group is not affiliated with the Irish Road Haulage Association.

As well as hauliers and truck drivers, the group has said that other vehicles may also be involved in tomorrow’s protest.

The group posted on social media that drivers are to gather at locations on four motorways into the city at 3am, and that pedestrians are to gather on O’Connell Street at 9am.

A statement issued by the Garda Press Office said it was “aware of a potential protest” in the Dublin region tomorrow.

It said that it “may impact on commuter traffic” and advised commuters to “plan accordingly”.

“An Garda Síochána will have an appropriate and proportionate plan in place to monitor the protest,” it said, and updated traffic information would be provided via its social media channels “as and when required”.
