Ireland Gridlock: Fuel Protest Convoys Cause Major Holdups

0:00On April 7th, protesters fed up with sky high fuel prices, kicked off slow-moving convoys across Ireland, Tuesday morning, jamming up major motorways. Guardi spotted them on the M7 and M4 in County Kildare, the M7 in County, Limerick, the M8 in County, Offaly, the M3 in County, Meef, and the M6 in County, Galway. Earlier this week, Guardi warned on social media that these actions could cause major hold-ups, urging drivers to map out their trips ahead of time. Drivers are already reporting backups, with some folks stuck for ages, while the public scrambles to avoid the routes. Organizers are coordinating mostly through messaging apps and posts online, so Guardi have only had brief chats with them and can't give precise and a updates yet. The convoys mix cars, big rigs, farm machines, and heavy gear, with some staying local and others aiming for Dublin Center, no permits needed for. This kind of action, so expect more gridlock until it eases. Stay informed with Europe News today, AI-powered updates.
