Fuel Protests Enter Day 2 as Gridlock and Chaos Grip the Nation Ireland woke to another day of widespread disruption on Wednesday as farmers, hauliers, and construction workers continued their national protest against soaring fuel prices, triggered by the ongoing war in Iran. Slow-moving convoys of tractors, lorries, and heavy machinery brought major routes, including the M50, N4, N3, and key approaches to Dublin, to a near standstill for a second successive day. Commuters faced long delays, public transport was severely impacted, and businesses reported significant knock-on effects as the action spread across counties, including Clare, Waterford, and Cork. SND Media spoke with John Dallan, a Kildare farmer and prominent spokesperson for the protesters.“We must stick together,” Dallan said. “The government needs to listen. We’re calling for an immediate cap on white diesel at 165-170 cents per litre, green diesel at 90 cents, and the complete abolition of the carbon tax and excise duties, at least until this crisis is over. If they don’t act, the economy will grind to a halt, as people simply cannot afford these prices. This could be bigger than the Celtic Tiger collapse if ignored.” Protesters have vowed to maintain pressure, with some warning they are prepared to continue to “sleep in their tractors” if necessary. Gardaí have urged motorists to allow extra time for journeys and expect continued significant delays. The demonstrations highlight deep frustration across the agricultural and transport sectors over fuel costs now exceeding €2.20 per litre in many areas. No immediate government response has been announced.

Duffy Shakes Dáil with Rallying Cry: “The Ball Is in the Government’s Court” Amid RIP Ireland Coffin Procession and Growing Solidarity As fuel price protests continue their fourth day with growing support across Ireland, agricultural contractor Christopher Duffy issued a stirring rallying cry at the foot of the Daniel O Connell statue, vowing that ordinary citizens would not back down until the government delivered meaningful relief on crippling diesel and petrol costs. The grassroots movement, coordinated through WhatsApp groups and the "Irish People Against Fuel Prices" Facebook page, has united farmers, hauliers, construction workers, small businesses and everyday drivers fed up with soaring fuel prices exacerbated by carbon taxes and global pressures. Protests have spread far beyond Dublin, with convoys blocking motorways, fuel depots and key routes in cities and towns including Limerick, Galway, Cork, Sligo and beyond, drawing widespread public solidarity. Speaking at the protest site on O'Connell Street, Duffy , one of four key spokespeople alongside John Dallon, James Geoghegan and Sean McNamara, slammed the government's initial reluctance to engage. "We sent requests on fuel costs and wanted a meeting; they refused even a response," he said. He stressed that the ball is now firmly in the government's court: "The protest will not move until the peoples requests are met, it’s the Government that has closed Dublin! "In a poignant symbolic gesture highlighting the nation's struggles, demonstrators carried a coffin marked "RIP Ireland" through the demonstration, representing the dire economic pressures facing rural and working Ireland. A moment of collective silence observed by protesters near the Dáil added solemn weight to their peaceful call for justice. Support for the protests continues to swell nationwide, with rolling convoys, tractor blockades and public displays of solidarity, including flag-waving onlookers on bridges and roadsides, reported across the country. From Portlaoise, where the movement gained early momentum, to disruptions at fuel depots and motorways, ordinary Irish people are standing together against policies that threaten livelihoods. Duffy and fellow organisers are calling for urgent action: lower fuel taxes, a freeze on carbon tax, price caps and a genuine response to the cost-of-living crisis. As a government meeting with representative bodies is ongoing today, protester representatives are on standby awaiting the outcome. This homegrown movement, born from real economic pain rather than external influence, reflects the frustration of hard-working families and businesses pushed to the brink. With public backing growing stronger by the day, the message from the streets is clear and resolute: the people of Ireland demand relief, and they will sustain peaceful pressure until real solutions are delivered. The coming hours could mark a turning point, but the resolve of protesters like Duffy shows no sign of wavering.

Duffys Defiant Dublin Convoy Regroup in Navan as Nationwide Movement Gains Momentum Hundreds of trucks, tractors, and supporters converged in Navan today in a show of solidarity following the early-morning clearance of protest blockades in Dublin and elsewhere. Organisers described the Garda operation as a significant over-use of resources. Christopher Duffy, a prominent spokesman and agricultural contractor, stated that protesters received no prior warning from any Garda member on the ground to move their vehicles or that they were committing an offence. He emphasised that the “four Es” procedure, as outlined by An Garda Síochána, was never followed, in fact, "they didn't even manage to get past the first one Engage" Large crowds turned out to back the fuel price protesters, many of whom had earlier taken part in convoys that brought parts of Dublin to a standstill earlier in the week. The demonstrations, now entering their sixth day, are driven by soaring diesel, petrol, and agricultural fuel costs linked to international events and domestic taxation. Aontú leader and Meath West TD Peadar Tóibín addressed the gathering, delivering a strong speech in which he reiterated calls for a vote of no confidence in the government. Tóibín has previously urged ministers to engage directly in dialogue with protesters rather than escalate tensions. Support for the movement has continued to swell across Ireland. In Portlaoise, thousands turned out despite extremely poor weather conditions, while similar gatherings have been reported in multiple counties. Many participants and observers have described it as one of the fastest-growing protest movements in modern Irish history. Protesters are demanding government intervention, including measures to cap fuel prices and ease the burden of taxes and carbon charges on hauliers, farmers, and contractors who say rising costs threaten their livelihoods. Organisers have signalled that demonstrations will continue in various forms nationwide, with further actions expected in the coming days.

🚨🇮🇪 BREAKING! Despite the proposed talks arranged between the government and farmers scheduled for 2pm, a large number of public order Gardaí have arrived at the Whitegate Oil refinery, one of the main sites of the Fuel Protest. This doesn't look like the actions of a government who are ready to make a deal.

BYC condemns the use of force against the family members of Zaheer Baloch and other peaceful protesters in the strongest terms. Today, the 11-day sit-in protest by the families of forcibly disappeared Baloch individuals was attacked by the forces when they were marching towards the Red Zone. Elderly men, women, and children were subjected to brutal violence, including live firing. Dozens of protesters were taken into custody and shifted to unknown locations. For decades, the state institutions' response to peaceful demonstrations has been violence and intimidation. The forced disappearances and genocide of the Baloch people continue, and when the families and civil society protest, they are treated with cruelty, beaten, dragged, and imprisoned. After facing severe crackdown, the protesters have reorganized and continued their protest. We urge the Baloch and Pashtun people to join the protest as soon as possible and call on the judiciary to intervene in this matter to safeguard the right to peaceful assembly of these already victimized people.

Australian police officers violently attacked Muslims as they prayed during a peaceful protest in Sydney against the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog, with footage showing officers shoving, dragging and throwing worshippers who were trying to finish their prayers. Police escalated the protest by provoking crowds, pushing demonstrators and deploying pepper spray in an attempt to forcibly disperse widespread opposition to the visit of genocidal Israeli president Isaac Herzog. Critics say the scenes mark a dark stain on Australia, condemning the government for inviting a war criminal, unleashing violence on peaceful protesters and targeting Muslim worshippers in public prayer. The Australian National Imams Council said footage of police “heavy handedly” pushing Muslims while praying was “shocking, deeply disturbing, and entirely unacceptable”, adding that it was “outraged” and had raised urgent concerns with the NSW Police Commissioner and ministers, insisting the NSW Government and Premier Chris Minns must take responsibility and ensure accountability at the highest levels. Minns attempted to blame Muslims on national television by claiming there had been a "riot" at the time of the assault, a claim directly contradicted by video footage, as human rights organisations, community leaders and the public condemned the police actions as an unprovoked assault.

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.

Fuel Crisis Meeting in Manorhamilton Erupts as Speaker Sums Up National Frustration Hundreds of locals packed Bee Park Community Centre in Manorhamilton this evening for an emergency public meeting on Ireland’s spiralling fuel costs, the latest in a series of grassroots gatherings highlighting the anger of farmers, hauliers, contractors and ordinary motorists. Organised amid mounting pressure on the government to tackle diesel and petrol prices, the Leitrim event followed a similarly packed meeting in Portlaoise last weekend that drew more than 400 people demanding immediate relief. The mood was raw and determined. Attendees voiced fears that rising fuel bills are pushing rural businesses and families to breaking point, with many blaming the carbon tax and what they see as a disconnect between Dublin policymakers and the realities of life outside the capital. Christopher Duffy, a vocal campaigner who has helped organise the meetings, took the microphone and delivered what many in the room described as a powerful summary of the frustration felt across Ireland. In a speech captured on video and widely shared on social media, Duffy told the crowd: “We have a government that will wave any flag bar the Irish flag. They’re waving free Palestine flags-by the time we’re finished they will be waving free Dublin flags. We’re locking her down.” His words drew strong applause and nods of agreement from the audience, many of them men in work jackets and hi-vis vests who had come straight from farms, trucks or building sites. The reference to “locking her down” was understood by those present as a call for coordinated protest action, potentially bringing parts of Dublin or key infrastructure to a standstill, if the government fails to act. The meeting, which had been publicised in the days leading up to Easter weekend, was one of the final planned gatherings in the current wave of fuel protests. Organisers had urged hauliers, contractors and motorists from across the northwest to attend and “have their say”. Similar events in recent weeks have seen growing numbers turning out, with speakers repeatedly calling for the immediate suspension or removal of the carbon tax on fuel to protect jobs and keep rural Ireland moving. Campaigners argue that without urgent intervention, small farms and transport businesses face collapse. As the meeting ended, the message from Manorhamilton rang out loud and clear: Ireland’s fuel crisis has reached boiling point. Ordinary citizens are no longer prepared to stay silent. Final plans are now being prepared for Tuesday’s national shutdown.

Police in Berlin carried out a forceful crackdown across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, moving in on peaceful pro-Palestinian protests and arresting demonstrators, including minors. Footage from multiple days shows officers forcing people to the ground, dragging them away and aggressively restraining them. The demonstrations remained non-violent before police intervened. During one arrest, a protester said they were being targeted for being Palestinian and because authorities are committed to partaking in the genocide. The repeated scenes across the weekend have intensified criticism of German authorities, with growing scrutiny over the use of force against pro-Palestinian protesters as Israel continues its genocide in Gaza, and its onslaught on neighbouring countries. Germany has long faced mounting criticism for its political and military support for Israel during the genocide, including arms exports and diplomatic backing, while authorities at home have moved to restrict and suppress pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Critics argue the combination of foreign policy and domestic policing reflects a broader effort to silence dissent.

It is with great concern that I condemn the burning of the APC party offices in Bo and the attack on my motorcade yesterday in Pujehun. These acts of violence are completely unacceptable and have no place in a democratic society. I strongly urge all political parties and their supporters to refrain from engaging in violence and instead focus on conducting peaceful and respectful campaigns. Political differences should be resolved through constructive dialogue and engagement rather than resorting to violence and intimidation. I am committed to promoting unity, peace, and stability in the country. I believe that a peaceful and respectful election process is critical for the development and progress of the country. I always condemned any form of violence and will continue to do so. I call on the relevant authorities to investigate these incidents and bring the perpetrators to justice. I also urge the authorities to take measures to ensure the safety and security of all political candidates and their supporters. I urge all Sierra Leoneans to work towards a peaceful and respectful election process. Let us focus on the issues that matter most to the people and engage in constructive dialogue to find solutions to the challenges facing our country. Together, we can build a brighter future for all Sierra Leoneans.

As more servos run empty and fuel rises past $3 a litre, One Nation is the only party with a clear plan to help Australians. Here's what the Government should be doing in this fuel crisis: Trigger the Liquid Fuel Emergency Act 1984 to force fuel supplies into the regions and stop the price gouging by Big Oil. Start precautionary rationing so priority supplies for hospitals, emergency services, defence and food production can be saved if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Cut the fuel excise by 100% for 3 months and/or remove GST on fuel which is a tax on a tax. This will give immediate relief to Australians. Finally, ditch net-zero so we can drill Australia's own oil, rebuild refineries and never get into this situation again. It's time for the government to step up and demonstrate they actually have a plan. If the government doesn't want panic then they need to lead. One Nation is happy to show them what to do.

Start precautionary rationing so priority supplies for hospitals, emergency services, defence and food production can be saved if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Cut the fuel excise by 100% for 3 months and/or remove GST on fuel which is a tax on a tax. This will give immediate relief to Australians. Finally, ditch net-zero so we can drill Australia's own oil, rebuild refineries and never get into this situation again. It's time for the government to step up and demonstrate they actually have a plan. If the government doesn't want panic then they need to lead. One Nation is happy to show them what to do.

The people who are protesting over the crippling price of green diesel and all other fuels on the bridges across the river shannon and on the highways and byways of Ireland from 7am in the morning (Tuesday) wrote to the Taoiseach Micheal Martin and the Tanaiste Simon Harris TD last Tuesday Match 31) after the big public protest in Portlaoise which I attended - they were seeking the opening of dialogue and offered a list of suggestions to deal with this crisis . The response they got was ZERO - not as much as an acknowledgement of their letter from Government buildings . This is just inexplicable to me. In these circumstances I fully support their right to peaceful protest in their lorries and tractors all over the country tomorrow . This Government is out of touch with the reality of the hardship now on the ground - and they will learn that the hard way in the coming days . Independent Ireland

Wrote an open letter to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy demanding an immediate reduction of VAT on petrol and diesel to provide relief to the people of Telangana. While fuel prices continue to rise and people struggle with inflation and increasing living costs, the Congress government is earning nearly ₹2,000 crore additional revenue annually through higher VAT collections. Before elections, Congress promised relief on fuel prices. After coming to power, not even a 0.1% reduction in VAT has been implemented. The government must stand with the people, not profit from their suffering. We demand an immediate reduction of at least 10% in VAT on petrol and diesel. Telangana CMO

Over 100 Dead in Bangladesh Student Protests Over Government Job Quotas More than 100 people have died during student protests in Bangladesh, as demonstrators demand the abolition of quotas for government jobs. With the country facing a high youth unemployment rate, students are calling for an end to the policy that reserves 30% of government jobs for relatives of veterans from Bangladesh’s 1971 War of Independence. The protests, now in their fifth day, have prompted authorities to impose a curfew and restrict internet access since Friday. The government plans to involve the army to suppress the unrest. In the town of Narsingdi, protesters stormed a prison, freeing inmates and setting the building on fire. Numerous government buildings have also been destroyed by demonstrators. According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), which cites hospital data, 105 people have been killed and over a thousand injured during the protests. Security forces are using tear gas and live ammunition to disperse the demonstrators, resulting in injuries to 300 police officers.

Is a revolution unfolding in Ireland. 🇮🇪 Day 3 of farmers, truckers and hauliers fuel protests and blockades of depots and ports…and the country is grinding to a halt. Massive rises in fuel costs, insane carbon taxes, very limited help from the government and an EU that refuses to allow countries like Spain to cut VAT have pushed these businesses over the edge. They simply cannot pay their expenses any more let alone make a profit. And more and more of the Irish people are backing them. The government are threatening to bring in the army. If that happens all bets are off, anything could erupt….yet zero coverage of it on mainstream British news🤷‍♂️ Support Irish farmers, support Irish truckers, support British farmers.
