Campaign group urges mass turnout as demonstrations spread across Ireland

A third day of protest over fuel prices has been announced for tomorrow.

The 'People of Ireland Against Fuel Prices Protest' group has said on its social media page that it has already notified Gardai of Thursday's nationwide action.

It's announced gathering points at various locations including Dublin, Portlaoise, Tullamore, Athlone, Cork, Sligo, Portumna, Waterford, Wexford, Donegal and Clare.

According to their social media the group is calling on "families, workers, farmers, hauliers, recovery drivers, fishermen, builders, small businesses and ordinary people who can no longer carry the burden of crippling fuel prices, rising costs and endless taxes."

There is a meeting point at Junction 14, Monasterevin tomorrow morning at 7:00am.

The group says its protest action will continue until the 'government listen to the people of Ireland'.
