Gardaí say they are advising people to plan for potential traffic disruption due to the protest which has been organised by a group called ‘The People of Ireland Against Fuel Prices’ who say they are protesting against skyrocketing fuel prices.

They travelled along routes into the city since early this morning and blocked the bridge and other routes in the port area.

A march was planned from 9am on O’Connell Street but only drew a crowd of around 10 people by 10am this morning.
