It's terrifying how many well meaning Irish pages don't see who they are getting in bed with, even when followers are alerting them. Oh no, not alerting "creating division." The #FuelProtest ORGANISERS are far-right criminal thugs homophobic anti-immigrant grifters animal abusers domestic violence perpetrators MAGA funded ⚓️⚓️ Jeez it happened in Canada not that long ago, before that, the Yellow Vests, remember?

End Deportations Belfast is the exception

Heartbreaking the abuse suffered by these women who have been feeding the homeless in Dublin for years. Not the first time these protests get hijacked by far right grifters and agitators. Lots of lies being spread. Let's spread the truth. Muslim Sisters of Éire deserve our support ❤️

undefined | Fuel protest: Rush hour delays after M50 blocked by protesters; collections blocked at Ireland's only oil refinery

The fuel‑price protests that began on Tuesday have now entered a second day, with hauliers, farmers and contractors blocking major roads and fuel depots across the country. In Dublin the M50 was shut at Junction 5 in Finglas, causing three‑hour delays and forcing traffic onto alternative routes such as the N2, N4 and N7. Similar blockades were reported on the M11 at Bray North, the M7/N18 in Limerick, the N52 in Tullamore and on routes around Galway, Cork and Sligo. The Whitegate oil refinery – Ireland’s only refinery – was surrounded by tractors, trucks and cars, halting fuel collections and prompting warnings that garage forecourts could run out of petrol and diesel if deliveries were not restored.

Government officials have repeatedly condemned the actions as illegal and harmful to commuters, businesses and emergency services. Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan warned that “no one is above the law” and promised consequences for unlawful blockades, while Taoiseach Micheál Martin said traffic laws must be enforced and that the government is negotiating with representative bodies for hauliers and farmers. Agriculture Minister Martin Heydon warned that the protests threaten animal‑feed supplies and could jeopardise pig and poultry farms, and the Minister for Agriculture called the blockades “damaging the Irish public”. The government has announced a €250 million support package, including reduced excise duties and an expanded diesel rebate, but has refused direct talks with the protesters themselves.

Protesters say they will remain in their vehicles until the government meets a series of demands: a €400 energy credit for the most affected, caps on white and green diesel, and the abolition of the carbon tax and excise duty on diesel. They allege that diesel prices for heavy‑duty tractors have risen from €400 to €700 per fill, adding tens of thousands of euros to operating costs and threatening the viability of farms and haulage firms. Leaders of the movement, such as agricultural contractor James Geoghegan, warn that without relief the country could face a “bigger collapse than the Celtic Tiger”, urging a rapid meeting with senior officials to prevent further disruption to fuel supplies and the wider economy.

Sorry, no diesel

I walked past Blarney Autos this morning and clocked the “SORRY NO DIESEL” sign on a car blocking the diesel pumps there. The fuel protests have been rumbling on around the country for days now, refineries are ringed by placards, and the knock-on is landing on forecourts like this one. It doesn’t help tha...

I'm fine with peaceful protests.

All the same, you probably don't want to be asking for something that is untargeted and risks contributing to energy shortages, inflation, and longer term long-term inequality that will make everyone worse off while at the same time you are blockading essential fuel depots and obstructing emergency vehicles.

There's very little left in cause or method for the public (or the public purse, which has to make spending choices) to get behind there...
