The Irish government, led by Prime Minister Micheál Martin, is set to introduce new fuel tax cuts as a response to widespread protests against soaring gas prices.
This decision comes after farmers and truckers took direct action by blockading access to key fuel depots, causing significant disruption.
While the new measures aim to ease economic tensions, the government's handling of the crisis faces criticism from opposition parties calling for greater accountability.
