Around twenty vehicles have blocked the East Link since early this morning.

Gardaí have been handing out parking fines to truck drivers who are blocking part of Dublin City.

Around twenty vehicles have blocked the East Link since early this morning, in protest over the rise in fuel prices. It's a much lower turnout than what was expected.

The group, calling themselves 'The people of Ireland against fuel prices', is demanding the price of petrol, diesel and home heating fuel be slashed.

They say they'll stay there "as long as it takes" until their demands are met.

Those demands include reducing petrol prices to €1.10 a litre and diesel to €1.20. They also include scrapping carbon taxes and the immediate resignation of Environment Minister Eamon Ryan.
