Widespread disruption on roads remains ongoing throughout the country today due to protests over rising fuel costs. In Tipperary, a number of roads are still affected by blockades, slow-moving convoys, and demonstrations.

According to Transport Infrastructure Ireland, the following roads continue to be impacted. If you are travelling today, please bear this in mind:

• Between J6 (N62) Thurles (2 kilometres south of the Littleton area) and J9 (N74) Cashel (South) (near Cashel).
• Between J10 (N24) Cahir (North) and J9 (N74) Cashel (South) (1 kilometre north of the Cahir area).
• Between J9 (N74) Cashel (South) and J7 Cashel (North) (near Cashel).

For those travelling across the border into Limerick today, the following roads are affected:

• Between J28 Castletroy (near Annacotty) and J29 (N24) Ballysimon (Limerick).
• Between J30 M7/N18/M20 (Limerick) and J28 Castletroy (near Annacotty).
• Between J4 Patrickswell and J3 Raheen (near Patrickswell).

Tipperary councillor Louise Morgan Walsh has been posting regular advice for drivers throughout the protest. Her most recent guidance is as follows:

With supply chains disrupted and major routes through Portumna, Cashel, and Limerick City facing gridlock, we strongly recommend:

• Keep your tank topped up: Ensure you have enough fuel in your vehicle for emergencies or unexpected long diversions.
• Avoid the “red light”: Don’t wait until you’re low—local stations in Nenagh and Portumna are already reporting high demand and potential short-term outages.
• Check live reports: Follow local An Garda Síochána Tipperary social media, Google Maps, and TII Traffic before setting off.
