Police in Dublin broke up a city centre blockade by fuel protesters during a late-night operation over the weekend.
Ireland’s prime minister Micheal Martin has announced measures to ease the pressures of fast-rising fuel prices following major protests across the country, News.Az reports, citing News.Sky.
There will be further reductions of duties on fuel and a delay in a carbon tax increase, Mr Martin said, in a package costing about 505m euro (£440m) – on top of 250m euro (£218m) worth of measures announced almost three weeks ago.
