DUBLIN FUEL PROTEST: Slowdowns and road blocks! Urgent national news!

Описание: The National Fuel Protest (led by the group "Can’t Afford to Move") began on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, and has entered its second day of major disruption across Dublin and other parts of Ireland. A coalition of farmers, hauliers, and contractors are protesting record-high fuel prices—€2.14 for diesel and €1.91 for petrol—driven by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Gridlock in City Centre: Protesters have parked tractors and trucks along O’Connell Street, O’Connell Bridge, and the Quays, effectively turning the main thoroughfare into a "car park".

Public Transport Disruptions:
Luas Green Line: Suspended between St. Stephen’s Green and Dominick due to vehicles blocking the tracks at O'Connell Bridge.

Dublin Bus: Reporting "severe disruption" across the network. Many buses are "trapped" in the city, with major diversions away from the city center.
M50 Closures: The M50 Northbound was blocked earlier today at J5 Finglas by slow-moving convoys, causing severe delays across the region.

Dublin Airport: While not directly blocked, travel times to the airport are significantly increased, and public transport links are heavily delayed.
