Fuel protests are gathering pace across Ireland — with farmers, hauliers and transport operators warning of growing pressure on the roads and across the economy.
Are these protests the start of something bigger?
Today’s programme focuses on the rising cost of fuel, the response from Government, and whether more industries could follow as pressure builds.
We’ll look at what’s happening on the ground, what’s driving the protests, and what it could mean for supply chains, construction, and everyday life.
We also begin with a reminder of what we’ve learned so far from the Noah Donohoe inquest, ahead of proceedings resuming next week.
And later, we examine the question of who is benefiting financially from the IPAS accommodation system — and the wider issues of transparency and oversight.
This is a fact-based discussion about pressure, protest, and where things may be heading.
