Irish Road Haulage Association warn of shortage of lorry drivers
Up to 4,000 heavy goods vehicle drivers are needed to deal with massive demand for goods in Ireland, according to the Irish Road Haulage Association.
The group says the shortage of lorry drivers could cause a major risk to the supply of goods in the country.
Hauliers are already under pressure as the economy reopens and demand for goods increases.
Eugene Drennan, president of the IRHA, says the education system is leading young people away from the profession:
