Tesco trucks fit the bill

Retail giant Tesco Ireland has rubbished reports that its trucks would be affected by the imposition of a 4.65 metre height restriction on heavy goods vehicles.

Director of Corporate Affairs at Tesco Ireland, Dermot Breen was reacting to reports in the media that suggested Tesco’s fleet would be affected by the possible new height restrictions and that its vehicles wouldn't fit in the Dublin Port Tunnel.

Mr Breen said Tesco Ireland "will in no way be affected by the height of Dublin Port Tunnel. There have been mischievous and untrue claims that so-called double-decker or 'super trucks' operated by Tesco will be unable to use the tunnel. The height of any Tesco trucks, currently or likely to be in use in the future come well within the height restrictions of Dublin Port Tunnel."
