Ireland Fuel Protests Escalate

Ireland Fuel Protests Escalate

Tractors and trucks that had paralyzed O'Connell Street were removed in a late-night Garda operation to restore traffic flow.

Despite the clearance, fuel depots and ports remain under pressure from demonstrators demanding immediate tax relief on energy.

The Cabinet is expected to approve a support package for hauliers, farmers, and the fishing sector to mitigate the impact of the Iran war on domestic prices.

Industry experts warn that it could take up to ten days to fully restore the national fuel supply network.
