Kildare Filling Stations Among The More Than 100 Out Of Fuel

Protests are continuing for a fourth day across the country

Over 100 filling stations are out of fuel across the country today, as protests continue.

That number could multiply rapidly today if blockades continue.

Diesel at Crookstown Service Station and Conlan’s in Athy ran out yesterday evening, while petrol was still available on Thursday evening.

Crookstown Service Station said on social media that they would have a delivery this morning.

Speaking to Kfm News, Adrian Conlan of Conlan's Athy confirmed that they did run out of fuel yesterday but received a full load this morning.

The Applegreen garage on the Sallins Road in Naas also ran out of diesel on Thursday.

It is also understood there was a limited amount of diesel at the Circle K in Kilcullen. 

Areas across Munster and Connacht have been especially affected, as Achill Island, Mayo is now without fuel.

Blockades are still in place in fuel storage facilities in Galway and Limerick, as well as the country's only oil refinery in Whitegate, Cork.

O'Connell Street in Dublin is still blocked.

Protesters are also currently on the M7 Northbound between Junction 8 and Junction 9.
