Ireland is teetering on the "precipice of turning oil away from the country," Premier Micheal Martin has warned, as widespread protests over soaring fuel costs continue to disrupt supply chains.
The Taoiseach condemned the "unconscionable" blockading of ports and the nation's sole oil refinery by demonstrators. Yet, protest leader John Dallon vowed the action would persist "until we get a result," stating he was refused entry to a government meeting with representative bodies on Friday.
