"This is the third service station I have chanced because of the hold-ups. The queues are serious. They keep growing every time a car leaves."
"If this keeps up, it's going to affect the kids getting to school next week. Not everyone can sit in traffic for an hour before their even day starts, you know?"
"I was just hoping there would still be fuel when I got to the top of the queue."
"In Foynes, a member of staff at a Circle K filling station has said they expect fuel reserves to run dry this Thursday."
Ongoing fuel protests and blockades at key distribution points in Ireland have significantly impacted the fuel supply network. As much as half of the distribution network is affected, causing many filling stations to run dry or impose purchasing limits. Long queues have formed at various stations, with motorists struggling to find fuel. Despite the inconvenience, many drivers support the cause behind the protests. Concerns are rising about the impact on daily life, particularly for families needing to transport children to school.
