THE LYRICS of an old song say "We'll be off to Tipperary in the morning." We've been to Ireland — not Tipperary — but Belfast, Dublin, Ballymena and other places both north and south of the "Black Pig's Dyke" — the border.
• Next week we report on the activities of operators and engineers from St Patrick's isle.
• Bill Brock, who leads our technical discussion groups, went to Dublin to talk with fleet operators on their day-to-day problems. Read his report next Friday. British manufacturers came in for strong criticism.
• David Wilcox made a whistle-stop tour and found that road transport in the Republic of Ireland is vastly different from its UK counterpart. He learned that breaches of hours and tachograph legislation are all too common. He learned this from one of the Republic's Ileading hauliers.
• We also have a story on where not to site a security lorry park! A park with capacity for 100 vehicles has seldom had more than two tenants. Breach of hours has something to do with this situation.
