Irish diesel tops €2/litre at 350 forecourts; fuel protest threat grows

Diesel prices in Ireland have surpassed €2 per litre at 350 forecourts, with home-heating oil up €550 year-on-year and a sixth energy provider raising electricity and gas prices. The rising cost of living is fueling public discontent and the threat of fuel protests, though no specific protest actions have been confirmed. This signals potential social unrest and inflationary pressure in Ireland.
