The Irish fuel crisis 🇮🇪⛽

• ⸸Ꭷ'ςลֆɛʏ⛧ Apr 9, 2026

  🇮🇪Ireland 🇮🇪

  The nation currently on the verge of running out of fuel - well not due to lack of supply, but due to nationwide protests! ⛽

  The people of Ireland have blocked major ports, fuel depots, roads etc to stop the delivery of petrol and diesel.

  Why?

  Because the cost is stretching everyone to their financial limits.

  For context for my American friends, we pay per litre:

  €2.10 - €2.20 for diesel
  €1.89 - €1.98 for unleaded petrol

  There is roughly 4 litres in a gallon. Meaning that, depending where you are, we are paying roughly $10 per gallon. So, thousands have blocked the majority transport routes causing mass panic and forecourts closing or limiting fuel per customer.

  The government refuse to lower the taxes (which per litre, is something like 60% in taxes)...

  What's the current situation in your country? How are people responding?

  Genuinely curious to hear how everyone is dealing with the current prices!

  It's a little under $4 a gallon where I was, but was staying around 2.50-2.80 before the war started. My state is one of the cheapest though

  Fair fucking play to everyone that’s out now, great to see. They left a toilet and a mobile home on the motorway at a block near me for everyone out protesting.

  When the government is taking a stance of “we don’t negotiate with terrorists” (they haven’t gone as far as to say this to be clear) and using the defence forces to clear a peaceful protest, there’s a problem. I think everyone should vote Sinn Féin in the next election just to scare the two big parties into actually listening.
• ⸸Ꭷ'ςลֆɛʏ⛧ Apr 10, 2026

  Sinn Féin aren't the solution either in my opinion. If anything, they have left their core voters behind - similar to labour in the UK.

  I personally really like the independent Ireland crowd. I like their manifesto and their actual love for the Irish people.

  There was also a chipper van on the motorway I think. Also McDonald's, supermacs, local businesses with delis etc all supplied protesters with food over the last 3 days.

  UPDATE: THE GOVERNMENT CAVED. THEY HAVE DONE A COMPLETE UTURN AND HAVE AGREED TO SPEAK TO REPRESENTATIVES 🇮🇪🇮🇪

  No Sinn Féin aren’t the solution. They are however the only party with a large enough vote to scare the shit out of Fine fail and Fine Gael. That and to tell the truth, they seem like the better of two evils at the moment.

  And that last statement is a bit misleading, they haven’t caved, they said they will open talks when blockades are down. Step in the right direction.
• ༺ ᗪᗰᒪ ༻ Apr 10, 2026

  It will be a cold day in hell before I vote for Sinn Fein.
  They're a bunch of sell outs and present zero opposition and will perform worse if in govt.
  They lost the public after the last two referendums and their extreme left wing politics.
  When they had the largest share of the polls it was because of protest votes and not their manifesto. They've lost that now.

  Independent Ireland and Aontú will be the biggest gainers.
  FF & FG have lost the electorate. That coalition is not only incompetent but actively working against the interests of the Irish people. That deck of cards will come tumbling down yet.

  I didn't expect it either, just shows how little the government know the people of Ireland.

  The entire country backs it's protestors. 🇮🇪🇮🇪

  I say they caved because wmthey went from:

  "We will not talk when a gun is pointed at our heads"

  They now are now open to discussions when the country is running empty - this government will never be voted in again or atleast, will have a massive opposition moving forward.

  Sinn Féin will never get into government. As DML said, they are left wing extremists who sold out their loyal supporters and the people of Ireland.

  Independent Ireland will get my vote - they are the only ones who's manifesto actually makes sense and looks after the Irish people.

  Did gas go up? Didn’t notice. Unless gas goes to like $50 a gallon I’m good and probably won’t notice. Maybe it’ll keep more people off the road.

  You don’t have to like the noise your alarm clock makes for it to run you out of bed in the morning. I don’t like Sinn Féin either but they are the *only* single political party with enough weight to be that wake up call.

  I don’t like Sinn Féin either, but I think they are the only ones big enough to force FF/FG to get their act together. That being said I think this term has been particularly disastrous for the reputations of both parties, so who knows? Maybe if Independent Ireland or Aontú are looking better I’ll vote their way.

  FF FG SF are cut from the same cloth.
  If they do go into govt, it will be in a coalition with FF.
  They’ve lost the ‘wake up’ call trait.

  I think you’re wrong, I think FF FG are so scared shitless of losing the grip they’ve had for so long that a surge in SF votes would force them to get their shit together.

  Thats literally already happened and FF FG just formed a coalition after 100 years of dispute and simply became worse. SF has zero credibility. Nobody will go into govt with them.

  That’s a fair point, but SF didn’t get a majority, and allowed FF and FG to form a coalition. If FF and FG were both out of power for the first time ever, I think they’d have to cop themselves on. And I think that a few would definitely go into power with Sinn Féin if they thought it would help themselves out.

  SF were the largest party at the last election but couldn’t get the numbers to form government.
  No matter how bad the scum running the place is now, we don’t need those horrible socialists given the chance to kill the country.
  I do agree FF FG need to be out of govt to realise they’re out of touch, but their voter base has been shrinking every decade and they’re on their last legs anyway. They’ve only 2, maybe 3, terms of relevance left anyway. Thats 10-15 years tops.

  10-15 years too long

  In Ireland, the biggest issue is a lot of people vote for the parties that "filled in that one pothole 20 years ago" - my older family are part of that issue.

  Mary Lou is "condemning" the governments response to the protests. People shouldn't forget that SF, HER PARTY supported the carbon tax and till this day, continue to vote for laws/taxes that go against the people.

  SF are in the same bracket as people before profits, which yet again, is a far left scummy party.

  Here's to either independent Ireland or Aontú benefiting from the next election
