Commuters and motorists are facing significant disruption nationwide as the “Can’t Afford to Move” fuel protests enter a second day, with further delays expected across multiple counties this afternoon.

Gardaí say slow-moving convoys and blockades are affecting traffic in Cork, Dublin, Limerick, Tipperary, and Galway, while fuel depots in Limerick and Galway remain obstructed.
