Businesses in Clare have said the rise in cost of fuel has had a “massive” effect this week as prices have skyrocketed within just a few days.

Several Clare business owners have told the Irish Independent how they have felt the pressure mounting as VAT on the cost of fuel continues to climb amid the ongoing war in Iran.
