Country on the brink of economic chaos as people panic-buy fuel and protests roll on; 'Breakthrough' meeting today but uncertain if protesters included
"Panic-buying of fuel has triggered a national crisis, with over 100 service stations running dry. That figure could grow to 250 by midday today if blockades of fuel terminals and depots have not been lifted."
"The country is on the brink of economic chaos amid escalating fears the blockade of fuel terminals will trigger crises across multiple sectors."
"Last night, the National Ambulance Service (NAS) was granted emergency stocks of fuel after supplies ran out across Galway and Mayo."
"Gardaí are advising those involved to immediately cease blockades. An Garda Síochána and the Defence Forces are working collaboratively in this regard."
The blockade of fuel terminals has led to panic-buying, resulting in over 100 service stations running dry. This situation could worsen, with projections of 250 stations out of fuel. The country faces potential economic chaos as fears grow that the blockade will trigger crises in various sectors. Emergency measures have been implemented, including the National Ambulance Service receiving emergency fuel supplies. Law enforcement is moving towards enforcement to address the blockades and restore order.
