Convoys of tractors and other vehicles took to Co Tyrone roads on Wednesday night to protest over the price of fuel in Northern Ireland.

Footage on social media shows a number of vehicles slowing traffic in the Tullyvar Road in Ballygawley.

It follows previous protests which took place on Tuesday, when lorry drivers and farmers were called to gather at a number of locations in the north, to protest over the price of fuel due to the war in the Middle East.

On Wednesday night (15 April) a PSNI spokesperson said: “Road users are advised to expect delays in the Tullyvar Road area of Ballygawley due to a number of vehicles in the area.

“Traffic is slow moving, and motorists should seek alternative routes where possible.”

Convoys of tractors and lorries took to a number of main arterial routes across the north on Tuesday in protest at rising fuel costs sparked by the war in Iran.

A number of fines were handed out by the PSNI in response to those participating in the protests, however the widespread disruption which had been anticipated did not materialise.

However, by Tuesday evening, plans for another fuel protest were circulating on social media for April 24 at a number of locations, including at Belfast International Airport.

No individual or group has yet taken responsibility for the organisation of the protests in the north, with several farmers involved in the protests reported as saying they were unaware who had organised the events.
