Ireland Fuel Protests Escalate

Demonstrators using lorries and tractors have targeted critical infrastructure to demand government intervention as gas prices soar due to the war in Iran.

The head of Ireland's police service has vowed to step up enforcement, stating that the disruption to the national supply chain will no longer be tolerated.

Protesters in Northern Ireland have also held slow-moving convoys in solidarity with their counterparts in the Republic.

The government is expected to sign off on emergency measures to support hauliers, farmers, and the fishing sector amid the ongoing crisis.
