🇮🇪 NATIONWIDE FUEL PROTEST – THURSDAY 9TH APRIL 🇮🇪
🚨 THIS IS NOW THE 3RD DATE OF PROTEST — AND IT WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND. 🚨
The time has come.
Families, workers, farmers, hauliers, recovery drivers, fishermen, builders, small businesses, and ordinary people can no longer carry the burden of crippling fuel prices, rising costs, and endless taxes.
This Thursday 9th April, the people of Ireland will stand together in a massive nationwide rolling protest.
We are asking everyone who is not driving in the convoys to come out and support us from bridges, roadsides, town approaches, and safe public areas, waving Irish flags in solidarity 🇮🇪
Show the country that the people are united.
🚨 OFFICIAL NOTICE
The Gardaí have been notified in advance of Thursday’s nationwide fuel protest and are aware of the planned convoy routes and meeting points across the country.
We ask everyone to protest safely and respectfully, and to keep all emergency routes and hard shoulders clear at all times.
