Further fuel protests can't be ruled out if the carbon tax isn’t removed and there isn’t a further reduction on excise duty and VAT on fuel.

That was the message behind a meeting held in Co Westmeath yesterday, arranged by those who led the protests in April.

Hundreds gathered for a meeting about the cost of living in Moate.

Organisers encouraged attendees to gather on the roads again if their demands are not met in the upcoming budget.

One of the organisers was Castledermot agri contractor John Dallon.

He says it’s up to the Government to listen to the people:

The Taoiseach says the Government is engaging with those worse affected by the fuel crisis.

Micheál Martin says it will be discussed in a budget meeting tonight (28 September).
