2026 Irish fuel protests

Common card · No. 243378

A series of nationwide protests occurred from 7–14 April in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland in response to rapidly rising fuel prices and broader cost-of-living pressures. The protests, primarily led by farmers, hauliers, and transport-dependent workers, caused widespread disruption to transport networks, fuel supply chains, and economic activity across the country. Following the Irish government's initial response to the protests, Sinn Féin tabled a motion of no confidence in the incumbent government, a coalition primarily composed of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. The government responded with a motion of confidence, which it won by 92 votes to 78.
