On April 7th, drivers in Ireland are facing major delays from protests against skyrocketing fuel prices with slow-moving convoys clogging key roads to Dublin and big cities. Guardi are out and forced managing traffic on routes like the M1, N2, N3, N4, N7 and N11 as trucks and tractors crawl along to highlight the pain at the pumps. These actions stem from the Middle East conflict, which shut down the strait of hormones and halted 20% of global oil trade, sending petrol. In diesel costs through the roof, folks are fed up in hitting the highways to make their point. Dublin Airport is warning passengers to plan ahead for travel headaches, while spots like the M7 near Limerick see both sides blocked by a round. 200 vehicles in one of the biggest shows. Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Simon Harris has a key energy meeting set for Wednesday to tackle this mess. Give yourself extra time out there and keep an eye on updates as things unfold.
