BBC: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuel protesters have been removed from a number of sites in the Republic of Ireland by police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Protesters were moved in an operation by garda\u00ed (Irish police) from O’Connell Street in Dublin, the M50 motorway near the city and from Galway port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A protest is still blocking the N1 southbound near Dundalk – part of the main route between Dublin and Northern Ireland – as well as other roads including the M7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demonstrators have been blocking fuel distribution sites and many major motorways and roads in a protest over soaring fuel costs following the US-Israel war with Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shortly after 03:30 garda\u00ed asked people inside tractors and trailers in O’Connell Street to leave the area, all of whom did so peacefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About 200 uniformed garda\u00ed, the public order unit and mounted unit surrounded O’Connell Street, while its water unit patrolled the River Liffey below and a Garda helicopter flew overhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A number of trucks and tractors left the area before the operation began, while several others later returned to their vehicles and then drove away under Garda escort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An operation to end a blockade of Galway docks began later in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Garda\u00ed said it was “to ensure critical supplies of fuel to maintain critical emergency public services, including ambulance and fire services”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demonstrators had formed a barricade on the bridge leading to the port terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was dismantled and protesters were directed to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most did so peacefully, although some were resistant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
