Ireland gridlocked by fuel protests as Iran War drives prices higher Published Fri, Apr 10 20267:44 AM EDT
CNBC
Protests around fuel prices in Ireland are entering their fourth day, with three of the country’s main refineries and terminals blockaded, and traffic in Dublin at a standstill.
The demonstrations have been primarily instigated by farmers, agricultural contractors and road haulage operators, who are upset with the government’s response to the spike in fuel prices since the onset of the Iran war.
