This is a national emergency and it needs to be dealt with like that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>A convoy of hauliers caused major traffic disruption around Dublin while travelling to Kildare Street to demand that the government lowers the cost of fuel.<\/p>\n<p>The convoys met at various locations off the M1, M2, M3, M4, M7 and M11, and there was significant delays on routes around the capital as the demonstration slowly travelled along the main arteries into the city.<\/p>\n<p>Hauliers who attended the protest said that the cost of fuel was driving smaller hauliers out of business.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of petrol and diesel rose under Budget 2022 alongside a planned increase in the rate of the carbon tax.<\/p>\n<p>The price of a litre of petrol and diesel each rose by 2.5c and 2.1c respectively, equating to around \u20ac1.28 extra for a 60-litre tank of petrol or a \u20ac1.48 jump for diesel.<\/p>\n<p>The carbon tax increased another \u20ac7.50 to \u20ac41 per tonne and is due to continue to rise each year until it reaches \u20ac100 per tonne.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hauliers who brought Dublin to a standstill in a protest over fuel prices have warned that they could stage another protest in the capital ahead<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":18862,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[1840,99,1492,1838,1839,1837],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Hauliers warn of further pre-Christmas protests if fuel costs are not reduced - Ireland&#039;s Forecourt &amp;
