Tuesday 7 April - Convoys And Consequences: Fuel Protests Grip Ireland
-
Narrated by:

Fuel protests have caused disruption across Ireland, with convoys from multiple counties slowing key routes into Dublin amid growing anger over rising costs.
While major representative groups are not formally involved, the pressure from farmers, hauliers and contractors is clear - and questions are mounting over whether the government will be forced to act.
Could fuel rationing become a reality - and if so, who gets priority?
Meanwhile, attention shifts to the Middle East, where tensions are escalating.
Iran is under pressure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and accept a US-backed ceasefire deal.
