## Resource

Farmers and hauliers are preparing for a second wave of fuel protests in Ireland, threatening to bring tractors and heavy machinery back to major roads, ports, and airports to block traffic and demand an end to future carbon tax hikes. Organized by agricultural contractor James Geoghegan, who’s frustrated the government ignored last year’s protests, the movement is gaining momentum ahead of Ireland’s EU presidency and a high-profile visit from Ursula von der Leyen. With diesel prices set to rise by 32 cents and temporary tax breaks expiring in July, Geoghegan is rallying rural communities and transport workers to amplify their demands and prevent another repeat of last April’s gridlock.
