The Irish police removed tractors and trucks on Sunday, which had blocked traffic in central Dublin for 5 days as part of a protest against the violent emergence in fuel prices resulting from the mediate East War.
Protesters, upset by the over 20% increase in diesel prices since the outbreak of the American-Israeli War against Iran, utilized tractors and trucks this week to block oil refineries, 2 ports, a fuel terminal and many roads across the country.
Protests caused major disruptions in transport in Dublin and deprived fuel of about a 3rd of gas stations in the country, creating a situation which Finance Minister Simon Harris described as a "very dangerous moment" for the country.
On Saturday, police removed the blockade around the only oil refinery in the country, and on Sunday reported that they had begun an operation to remove the port blockade at Galway.
