For six days, Ireland's roads and major cities were brought to a standstill as fuel protests swept the country.
Farmers and lorry drivers blockaded gas depots, motorways and Ireland’s only oil refinery, protesting at rising fuel costs due to the ongoing disruption in the Strait of Hormuz.
Motorists panic bought fuel, leading to the closure of hundreds of petrol stations as they ran dry.
The government has announced a 550 million dollar package to help but will it be enough to prevent further protests?
Joining Enda Brady to discuss:
Frances Fitzgerald, Ireland’s former deputy prime minister
Fionnan Sheahan, Ireland Editor of the Irish Independent
Jonathan Healy, a broadcaster and managing director of the PR firm Healy Communications.
And Kevin Meagher, who is a writer and commentator on British and Irish politics.
