Five or more axles banned from Dublin city centre
LGVs with five axles or more will be fined up to €1,500 (£990) and drivers could be jailed if they try to enter Dublin city centre without a permit.
The cordon, which comes into force on 19 February, is intended to make the city more accessible to pedestrians, cyclists, public transport and other motorists, according to the city council's traffic director Michael Phillips.
As a result LGVs will be forced to use the Dublin Port Tunnel to reach the port.
