Episode Details

A Clare Fianna Fáil councillor and oil supplier is calling on the Government to "look after our own people here at home for a change" amid the ongoing global fuel crisis. Thousands of drivers participated in slow-moving convoys on major routes across the country yesterday to protest against surging petrol, diesel and home heating oil prices. The mass demonstration began shortly before 8am on Tuesday and congestion continued into the evening, with the M18, N18 and key arteries of Ennis seeing the worst of the delays in Clare. Sixmilebridge Councillor Alan O'Callaghan believes it's high time supports were rolled out to assist regular people affected by mounting costs.
