BBC: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cross-border travel has been affected for the second day in a row by fuel protests in the Republic of Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slow-moving convoys protesting against high fuel prices caused by the US and Israeli war against Iran are in Dublin and various locations on main roads leading to the city, as well as near other large urban areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garda\u00ed (Irish police) said O’Connell Street and O’Connell Bridge in Dublin were at a standstill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dublin Airport advised passengers to allow extra time for their journey while Translink said cross-border services were subject to delays and disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the public transport provider’s X1\/X2\/X3\/X4 services will terminate at Dublin Airport until further notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also a number of delays and diversions to Dublin Express coach services between Dublin and Belfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company advised customers to allow “significant extra time” for their journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protests started on Tuesday<\/a> morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conflict in the Middle East has caused rapid price rises for both petrol and diesel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some 20% of the world’s oil trade, the raw ingredient for producing both petrol and diesel, has been halted by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prices in the Republic of Ireland have surged to about \u20ac2.14 (\u00a31.86) a litre for diesel and roughly \u20ac1.91 (\u00a31.66) a litre for petrol, with higher prices in some places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
