Dublin's northside of the city was brought to a standstill yesterday morning in the second protest in a matter of weeks against rising fuel costs.

A group known as Irish Truckers Haulage Association Against Fuel Prices are calling for "lower fuel costs at the pump and at home" and blockaded the busy thoroughfare throughout the motorways around the city to their final destination of Dublin Port.
