Ireland fuel price package

The measures include further reductions in fuel duties and a delay in planned carbon tax increases as the cost of diesel approaches £2 per litre.

Protesters had brought major ports and refineries to a standstill, nearly causing a nationwide fuel shortage before authorities intervened.

The government has also deferred school exams due to the ongoing logistical chaos caused by the demonstrations.
