Extra: On the streets as fuel protests continue nationwide shutdown and Taoiseach decries “national sabotage”
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Today we are coming to you from O’Connell Street in a gridlocked Dublin city centre. For the past few days, this has been the hub of a nationwide protest by hauliers, farmers and contractors in the face of rising fuel costs. Taoiseach Micheál Martin has described the action as “national sabotage”, while insisting that “a gun won’t be put” to the head of the Government. As talk of Defence Forces deployment mounts, how much longer will this protest last?
