A planned fuel protest will partially go ahead on Friday despite a major security lockdown in Dublin as world leaders gather for an EU summit.

Cork campaigner Anthony Kelleher, a leading voice in April’s Whitegate oil refinery blockade, is involved in the protest with campaign group the People of Ireland Against Fuel Prices Protest.
