Fuel protests set to take place across several busy roads on Friday

The M1, M3, M4, M7, N2 and N11 will be among the routes affected.

The convoys will travel down major roads, including the M1, N2, M3, M4, M7 and N11, from 7.30am, and will park up at 9am before dispersing at 7pm.

The The People Of Ireland Against Fuel Prices Protest took to Facebook to announce the fresh set protests, saying the purpose of the day is to "bring people together across all 26 counties of the Republic of Ireland to call for action on fuel prices and the cost of living".

The post also set out the daily timetable county by county.

While the Irish Road Haulage Association (IRHA) will not be partaking in Friday's protest, it said it won’t actively discourage farmers or truck drivers from taking part.

IRHA boss Ger Hyland told The Irish Sun he has empathy for those planning to “take to the streets” again, but added that he is focused on further negotiations with the Coalition over fuel and toll prices.
