500 Irish petrol stations could have no fuel 'by the end of the day'
Blockades by protesters (including farmers and road users) in the Republic of Ireland, triggered by skyrocketing fuel prices tied to the US-Israeli war against Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, have left over 100 petrol stations without fuel, with Fuels for Ireland warning the number could reach 500 by Friday night. The Irish government is finalizing an enhanced support package (in addition to a €250m fund) but has stated no further measures will be announced until blockades end, while emergency services, home care providers, businesses, and commuters face growing disruption from fuel shortages and road closures across multiple counties.
