🚨🇮🇪 Irish Government deployed the Military to deal with protesters – now they are offering a small financial contribution to help farmers, truckers & business from going bankrupt due to soaring fuel costs.

Wow, 65% —
He’s not responsible for 65% taxes on every Irish fuel sale.

They take more money from fuel than it costs to produce it.
They could end the protest tomorrow by reducing the costs they unfairly place on you.#fuelprotest pic.twitter.com/uHIaxEn7LZ

Too little too late! Government faces new level of scrutiny despite throwing a few crumbs to fuel protesters
ANTHONY ELLIS for THE LIBERAL
The government remains under immense pressure from the public, opposition and even members of their own party after their disastrous dealing of the national fuel protests that were held across the entire country over the past week.
Fuel protests are set to dominate the agenda throughout the week, reports Breaking News.
From midnight on Tuesday, the price of petrol and diesel will decrease by 10 cent per litre following Cabinet approval of a €505 million support package.
The planned Carbon Tax increase scheduled for May 1st has also been postponed until the October budget, reports Breaking News.
Additional support measures have been agreed with the agriculture and haulage sectors, with hauliers set to receive tiered payments over a three-month period based on business size.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin stated that the measures will be funded from the national surplus, though this could limit what is achievable in the upcoming budget.
Criticism
The controversy surrounding the Coalition is expected to continue despite these measures.
Sinn Féin is preparing to introduce a motion of no confidence in the Dáil, though it is expected to be largely symbolic as it would require backing from Independent TDs aligned with the Government, which appears unlikely.
Independent Ireland said the measures “are too little too late”.
Cork TD Ken O’Flynn argued that the Government has not listened and has failed to address the concerns of people across Ireland.
He added that dissatisfaction nationwide goes beyond fuel prices and reflects wider concerns, including a perception that taxpayers’ money is not being used effectively.
The Labour Party claimed that PAYE workers have been abandoned by the Government through the support package announced. reports Breaking News.
The party’s finance spokesperson Ged Nash said the events of recent days have led to a loss of Government authority.
