Irish protests keep growing
After unleashing police and military on protesters, Ireland government starts to partially agree to protesters’ demands.
Today it’s ‘day 7’ of the mass protests in Ireland over the cost of fuel.
While the rise of prices is primarily caused by the war in Iran, the suicidal energy policies of the Globalist Irish government are also to blame.
Protesters are demanding the suspension or removal of the carbon tax on fuels — especially agricultural diesel.
They are also calling for resuming domestic oil exploration instead of the current policies restricting fossil fuel development in favor of ‘rapid decarbonization’.
Last week, the Irish government set the army on small groups of workers.
This week, the people are shutting down the whole country, supported by the world.

After the police and military crackdown backfired, now the Irish government is trying to bargain: more than €500 million in tax cuts on motor fuel has been announced, ‘in an attempt to placate protesters snarling key ports and roadways’.
Politico reported:
“Prime Minister Micheál Martin announced the cuts hours after police successfully cleared protesters from the ports of Galway and Foynes in western Ireland as well as on Dublin’s central boulevard, O’Connell Street, which tractors and trucks had blocked since Tuesday. The clearances came a day after police backed by soldiers broke a similar blockade of the country’s only oil refinery at Whitegate in County Cork.”

The Premier denied that tax cuts were a reward for the protesters, and added that he would not speak directly to ‘unelected’ protest leaders.
“‘It’s beyond comprehension that we were on the precipice of losing oil refining capacity in the country in the middle of an unprecedented global supply shortage of energy’, Martin said. “It makes absolutely no sense what was going on.”
