TII warns of significant disruption on national roads and motorways as fuel protests continue to impact traffic across multiple counties.
Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has issued a statement warning of significant disruption across the national road and motorway network as ongoing fuel protests continue to impact traffic across the country.
The disruption is currently affecting counties Clare, Limerick, Tipperary, Laois, Offaly, Kildare, Galway, Cork, and Dublin.
TII said its network operations are working closely with the Garda Traffic Corps to assist in managing the ongoing traffic disruption. TII has requested that all road users leave the hard shoulder available for emergency services.
The protest is described as mobile at times and can impact different regions at different times. Road users are advised to check traffic.tii.ie for live information on the impact across the network.
An Garda Síochána confirmed it continues to engage extensively with those taking part in fuel protests across the country, "to facilitate peaceful protest while protecting public safety."
Gardaí said they have been operating on the basis of the 4Es framework: Engage, Explain, Encourage and Enforce. Following what they described as "positive and constructive engagement with local protestors, critical deliveries departed from Rosslare Europort overnight."
