The price of a barrel of oil has plummeted overnight to under a hundred dollars a barrel after Trumps resounding victory over Iran, so I'm sure the price at the pumps will drop just as quickly the prices rose.

I’d say it will be a while before prices fall. Supply will be under pressure for a while . Takes weeks to move the ships . Be lucky if we’re not queuing at the garages soon

I bet the prices don't ever go back to where they were. And if they do, the government will put back the 20c or so the government removed in a temporary tax reduction.

Joke is the current fuel shortages are not being caused by USA/Israel/Iran but by some selfish louts with big trucks and tractors and too much free time.

Ironic to see people having to queue to pay the prices prices these guys are complaining about, if they are lucky enough to even get some fuel, while there is more than enough fuel in storage which is being held to ransom by a small section of the population.

That is anarchy not democracy!

Its ironic that someone who lives in North Cork is so out of touch with his neighbours and seems to be in the I'm all right Jack camp.

This is a pent up anger being shown to government which seems to have very little regard for its people but can find money for NGOs, Ukraine and others at will

Think there’s a lot of hurt and Frustration out there. I don’t agree with blocking the oil but I also think the government need to listen to people and acknowledge them . A bit of respect and a place at the negotiating table might help the situation . Hope it’s gets sorted soon 🙏

No one is owed a living by the state, you work hard for your living and if your chosen profession can no longer support you then you change profession.

Blocking the roads as a protest? I'd impound every single vehicle blocking fuel delivery. Starting one depot at a time and I'd water cannon the fuck out of anyone who got in ghe way.

Unelected bullies and thugs imo. You want to protest then protest but the second you Impede people working and making a living to support their families you've lost any support from me.

Give it a couple of days and ghe public opinion will swing and these guys will be outcasts.

.....

I come from a farming background, have friends in the agri contracting, haulage and plant hire business and worked across all of those areas over the years so I am probably more aware of the situation in those industries than most. I am effected in my own way by the current fuel price increase and had to queue along with all the other "Jacks" today because of the reckless actions of a minority of the population.

The blockade of fuel storage facilities was an unnecessary escalation of the protest and has done absolutely nothing to bring about a reduction in fuel prices.

My anger is directed towards the warmongering agressors, Trump, Netanyahu, Khamenei and Putin who have created the Ukrainian immigrant and current fuel crisis situations.

Protest will only be successful if directed where it should be and shouldn't alienate those that the protesters rely on for support.

Forcing people to postpone medical appointments, sit for hours in traffic jams and queue for fuel to get to and from work is showing scant regard by a small minority of business people, including farmers and agri contractors, for their neighbours.

They aren't growing my food or delivering it though are they? They are blocking the roads.

Instead they are depriving me of my right to earn a living in order to buy their food and pay for their delivery services.

The only difference is that I'm not taking the law into my own hands and interfering with law abiding people going about their business.

Id support any law abiding protest. Not this.

I dont think you got mt point, maybe I wrote it badly. Ill give up another go 😀.

I would be very happy if they went back to work growing my food and delivering it instead of blocking the roads.

I would also be happy if same as any normal business they added their margin to their costs and charged accordingly. Which I will then pay.

None of that requires blocking roads.

That's a 67.5% increase unfortunately someone is telling

you porkies Caveman as fuel hasn't increased by 67.5%. Try 16 to 20% and remember it's only a portion of a hauliers costs, whivh is only a portion of a retailers costs, so it doesn't translate as a direct % to my food costs.

And yes if my grocery costs go up 1-5% ill pay it. Not happily but i won't break law when I make my protests.

But they won't get the price down.

The tax that was cut is due to ho back on so that will keep the price up. And if you have an accident and hospital staff don't have fule to get to work I guess that's not your fault?

Maybe if we blockade farms they can cut there cost.

Or all drive slow so lorries are delayed and run out of hours, meaning less trips get done.

Would they drop there cost.

So "fuck you Jack, I'm alright"?

"know a fella with 2 lorrys his fuel bills for feb 2025 was €4000 for Feb 2026 it's increased to €6700 will you be happy to pay 25% extra on everything if they increase their price or would the small bit of hardship be worth it if they could get the fuel prices down for everyone and that includes home heating oil

My transport companies are charging me a surcharge of 26% and im passing it on

Fair play to the goodness of the heart getting the prices down for everyone

They dont give a fuck about everyone else otherwise they wouldn't be blocking ordinary workers from earning a wage

The leaders are racists who have been posting absolute horrible things about disabled people and people of different religions and countries

Not for long because you won't have fuel because of the blockades. I've lots of sympathy for anyone who is struggling but they cant hold a country to ransom. Not right.

The protests only ever disrupt the ordinary joe that spends more time , energy getting to or home from work. 2 hours yesterday for my normal 15 min drive home from work .

Protest outside Leinster house or the local td office not the main thoroughfares that effect the gen population

Not even the average Joe, but it overwhelming affects the most vulnerable.

The lowest paid jobs are jobs with little or not option to work from home or have more flexible hours.

The people who are already struggling are those who can least afford to miss work, and usually have far less work security.

Not even mentioning the people with additional needs both medical and care.

Portlaoise

I know of at least a dozen lads who didn't work today and that number will at least double tomorrow due to no fuel. None of them will get paid. So who gets the blame there.??
