Protests are expected across Northern Ireland on April 14 over rising fuel costs due to the Middle East war, with calls for lorry drivers and farmers to gather at 2pm at locations including the Westlink in Belfast, Sprucefield in Lisburn, Larne Harbour and Omagh town centre. The PSNI said they are "monitoring the situation" following similar protests in the Republic earlier this week calling for caps on kerosene and diesel, with Economy Minister Caoimhe Archibald urging the UK government to reduce fuel duty "as a matter of urgency." Hannah Patterson explains.

🚨 NEW: Major security operation at Lurgan Police Station after delivery driver forced to drive car at gunpoint 🎤 Chief Reporter James reports from the scene. A delivery driver in Lurgan was threatened at gunpoint and forced to drive his car, with an object inside, to the town’s police station, sparking a security alert, Police Service of Northern Ireland Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson has said. DUP MP Carla Lockhart MP says the situation is deeply concerning and not something anyone wants to see. Around 100 homes have been evacuated, and it’s understood a controlled explosion has taken place. There are numerous road closures in the area. Lurgan Town Hall has been opened for affected residents. A heavy police presence remains in the town. Justice Minister Naomi Long MLA has described it as a “shameful and dangerous attack.” Ulster Unionist Party Leader Jon Burrows MLA says it is a clear attack on the Police Service of Northern Ireland and is causing significant disruption. Sinn Féin Minister and MLA John O' Dowd says: “This has caused massive disruption to local families and businesses. I hope the town can return to normal as quickly as possible. “No one wants to return to such scenes, and we await the outcome of investigations into the vehicle.”

By now you may have seen the horrific video coming out of Belfast. We all have to be careful not to incite trouble or violence, but let’s be honest. These things are simply no longer acceptable in our societies. It seems the men of Northern Ireland have had enough and there is talk of mass protests and the complete closing down of Belfast at 7pm tonight…and inevitably there will be trouble. If it happens in Northern Ireland there is every chance it will happen in Ireland as well. What has been done to those countries from a % demographics basis is horrendous, and quite frankly I’m surprised it has been tolerated for so long. All of our nations feel at breaking point and events in Northern Ireland tonight might be indicative of what’s to come 😢

⚠️🗣NEW: 'People are in tears. Brexit was bad enough. I am pleading.' Hundreds face losing jobs in ‘political standoff.' 🎥🎤Chief Reporter James speaking to CEO of the Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action, Celine McStravick. 📍Community and voluntary groups have gathered at Stormont this morning over impending funding cuts. It comes as a key funding scheme is being replaced this week, with cash for voluntary groups set to be cut by 64%. The sector warns this will lead to hundreds of job losses. The Stormont Executive and community sector have called for the decision to be reversed but the Government says the Executive has the means to provide extra support if it chooses. Today, the message was clear: “Time is running out.” The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) will be replaced by the Local Growth Fund on 1 April. In 2023, EU funding to charities and community groups in Northern Ireland through the European Social Fund (ESF) ended as a result of Brexit. It was replaced by the UKSPF, which will now in turn be replaced by the Local Growth Fund. The new fund has a 70/30 capital-to-revenue split, resulting in significant cuts to day-to-day funding for the voluntary and community sector.

💥⚠️WATCH Belfast fuel protest: “Every day is a struggle. I had to do something. I can’t sit on my hands.” 🎥🎤Chief Reporter James reporting and speaking to a farmer taking part in the protest in Belfast on the Sydenham Bypass near Belfast City Airport. 🚜Sam Hanna is a dairy farmer from Ballygowan. He says he is struggling to make a living with rising costs. He wants things to “change right from the top to the bottom.” Makes clear he did not know who was organising the protests, but says he felt it was important to be there and take part. Also says how no roads were blocked, and that this was taken into consideration for emergency vehicles. He apologises for the disruption, but wants people to be thinking about the issue. The disruption in Belfast comes after similar demonstrations in the Republic of Ireland disrupted fuel supplies, port operations, and traffic in city centres and on motorways for a week. First Minister Michelle O’Neill and Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly BL last week wrote to Prime Minister Keir Starmer urging him to bring forward a package of support measures for people here. Health Minister Mike Nesbitt said he would be concerned if roads were blocked. He said: “Just engage in legitimate, legal protest. “Today, as is the case every day, there will be well over 100,000 engagements or interactions between the HSC and the public.”

Brothers and sisters of Ireland, 🇮🇪 We gather not in silence, but in strength. We gather not in hate, but in hope. And we gather not to divide, but to demand. For the past number of days, our country has been brought to a standstill. Not by chaos without cause, but by people pushed to the edge. Farmers, workers, drivers, families, ordinary Irish people have taken to the roads, to the streets, to the gates of this nation’s lifelines because the cost of simply living has become too much to bear. They are not there for attention. They are there because they cannot afford not to be. Fuel prices have surged to unsustainable levels, driven by global crises and policies beyond the control of ordinary people. And yet, it is the ordinary people who are expected to carry the burden. They tell us support has been given. They tell us measures are in place. They tell us to be patient. But patience does not fill a tank. Patience does not keep a business alive. Patience does not put food on the table. Across Ireland, roads have been blocked, cities brought to a halt, and supply lines disrupted. Fuel depots, ports, even the country’s only oil refinery have been targeted in protest. Not out of malice but out of desperation. And now we see the response. The government condemns the protests. They speak of disruption, of law and order, of consequences. They warn of penalties and even bring in the Defence Forces to assist. But where was this urgency before? Where was this response when people were crying out for help? We ask not for chaos. We ask not for division. We ask for fairness. We ask for a government that listens before the country grinds to a halt. We ask for action before people are forced onto the streets to be heard. Because let us be clear: These protests did not appear out of nowhere. They are the result of years of pressure, rising costs, and people feeling ignored. You, in government, we ask you now!! Why does it take nationwide disruption before you listen? Why are workers and families pushed to breaking point before action is taken? Why must people blockade their own country just to be heard? We are not extremists. We are not criminals. We are citizens. And we are pissed of being ignored. Those standing on the roads today those sitting in tractors and trucks through the night those sacrificing income to make a point they are not the enemy of this country. They are the voice of it. And yes you best believe disruption is real. People are delayed, services affected, and frustration is growing. But that is what happens when a government stops listening and the people are left with no other choice. This is a peaceful movement. But it is a powerful one. And it carries a message that cannot be ignored! A country cannot function when its people cannot afford to live in it. So we say again: Serve your people first, or step aside. This is not your Ireland to manage from a distance. This is our Ireland, lived in every day by those now standing in protest. And until there is real action, real engagement, and real change the voices on those roads will not fade. They will grow louder. Éire Abú.

Dawn of Disruption: Nationwide Fuel Protest Convoy Set to Paralyse Dublin Traffic in 'Peaceful but Massive Demonstration' Motorists across Ireland are being warned of significant delays in and around Dublin on Tuesday as thousands of hauliers, farmers, construction workers and support vehicles converge on the capital in a nationwide fuel-price protest. Organisers have released an updated convoy plan calling for a coordinated, peaceful demonstration starting at dawn, of which details at the end of this report. The running order will place recovery trucks at the front, followed by hauliers, buses, farmers, construction vehicles, vans and rear breakdown support. Christopher Duffy, a leading voice for the protest movement, told SnD Media the action is a last resort: “Businesses are to the wall and are going to go out of business. People are really struggling now and it’s just not feasible to survive.” The core demand is to cut fuel prices to €1 per litre for green diesel and €1.70 for white. We spoke with Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín this evening who described the protests as “organic” and accused the government of “taxing the people out of business and leaving them in a situation where they cannot put food on the table.” He added: “Fuel is not a luxury and should stop being taxed as such. The government must sit down and sort this out.” Motorists have been urged to plan alternative routes or delay non-essential travel completely tomorrow especially into Dublin. Organisers say the protest will remain peaceful and unfortunately static at times due to the shear volume of vehicles involved across the country.
