A solution is needed today as fuel protests continue to escalate, Sinn Féin TD Claire Kerrane has insisted. Speaking this afternoon Deputy Kerrane claimed that "every time Micheál Martin opened his mouth this week, more people joined the ongoing fuel protests. Rather than de-escalating the situation, he and Government have added fuel to the fire all week." And so, we need a solution today. “We need an announcement today that will end the protests and allow protesters to go home to their families," said Deputy Kerrane.
