Overview
- Following Tuesday’s nationwide convoys, vehicles left overnight in Dublin kept O’Connell Street closed on Wednesday, with Dublin Bus reporting severe disruption and Green Line trams curtailed in the city centre.
- Gardaí warned of possible road blocks to Dublin Airport and the Port Tunnel on Wednesday morning as slow‑moving convoys continued to cause delays on routes in counties Limerick and Cork.
- Protesters blocked the fuel terminal at Galway Port from Tuesday late morning, stopping tanker loading and raising the risk of local forecourt outages even as industry groups reported normal national stock levels.
- Taoiseach Micheál Martin condemned the blockades as wrong, warned that anyone breaking the law will face penalties, and said the Government will engage through national representative bodies rather than ad hoc groups.
- Demonstrators from farming and haulage circles are seeking diesel price caps and cuts to carbon tax and excise, while major associations say they are not organizing the protests but continue talks with ministers on targeted supports.
