"Three national fuel depots at Whitegate refinery, Shannon Foynes port and the Port of Galway remain restricted due to the blockades, and movement at the three sites is extremely limited."
"Fire services across Ireland have had to put in place contingencies to manage the restricted availability of fuel. Fire services will cease non-essential activities and responses to non-life threatening call-outs will be restricted in order to preserve fuel."
"The NECG heard that there are approximately 1,500 fuel stations nationwide, with more than 100 currently out of supply, potentially rising to 500 today."
Ireland's National Emergency Co-ordination Group reported that fuel supply disruptions could lead to 500 fuel stations being out of service. Currently, over 100 stations are already affected. Blockades at three national fuel depots are limiting supply. Concerns are rising among international shipping companies regarding delays at Irish ports. Emergency response vehicles are under pressure, prompting fire services to restrict non-essential activities and manage fuel availability. The National Ambulance Service is also facing challenges due to these shortages, necessitating contingency plans.
