Fuel prices continue to skyrocket in Dublin and around the country as Russia's invasion of Ukraine enters its twelfth day.
Oil is priced at $118 (€107.8) a barrel on the international markets with the cost of a barrel now at $120 (€109.6), which is the equivalent of €2 a litre for petrol.
This is a massive increase compared to the situation two years ago when the pandemic led to oil being valued at €15 a barrel, and petrol selling for €1.12 a litre.

A spokesman for AA Ireland said that paying €2 a litre has "become a type of psychological line in the sand".
He said: "It is a price threshold at which consumers begin to get concerned.
“For an average car, travelling 17,000km a year, you are paying approximately €800 more a year now than you were two years ago.”
