So nothing for private coaches and buses in the local link scheme subsidise by the government? Construction workers travelling to work, burning petrol in generators, cement mixers? No cuts for them or rebates? What about commuters in their cars travelling to and from work paying road tolls?

All reliant on an unsustainable source of fuel, it is absolutely certain to fail again either through this kind of action, more war or just plain running out. Meanwhile it's killing the planet and these fools are demanding more drilling.

Ridiculous they are aware the longer the illegal war goes on the higher prices will rise and govt has given into these bullys

Regardless of wars, oil prices are trending in one direction and we’re going to end up back in this situation. I sincerely doubt that the people involved in these protests are thinking about the long-term viability of their livelihoods. If they were they’d be demanding that gov works harder to make

What about the rest of us or is it just the FF/FG voters get the kick backs

I’ve a bridge and some magic beans to sell you if you thought those wealthy businesses owners gave one iota of thought to the average person.

Clearly you haven't looked at my timeline. I can assure you I am fully aware of the corruption of the current Irish government

Is the 95% of the country that isn't a haulier or a farmer not affected by the rise in fuel costs? I thought the protestors claimed they were doing it for everyone? Farmers already get discount diesel compared to everyone else

None of the small farmers I know went, they were too busy with lambing, calving or going to the bog.

I’m so confused. Why don’t they just tow all the vehicles for breaking traffic laws? (Watching from the US, which I know has much bigger problems)

Because the big lads might thump them. So the private contractors who the Gards would have to use and wouldn't be able/willing to protect won't do it. The army won't do it because reasons.

Because it's Ireland!! Don't ask😜
