A fuel protester in a high-vis jacket confronted Taoiseach Micheál Martin at an event in west Cork on Thursday afternoon. Mr Murphy, wearing a yellow high-vis jacket, waited outside the refurbished Campas Íosagáin as Mr Martin arrived. “What are you going to do about the diesel?” Mr Murphy asked the Taoiseach. Mr Martin did not engage and moved past him to enter the co-working facility. Mr Murphy then accused the Taoiseach of “walking away from the Irish people”.
