Ballygawley: Fuel protests slow traffic for second day

Christopher Fletcher said the protesters wanted a temporary fuel tax cut until the war in Iran ends.

He said the protests were triggered by the cost of fuel, but he’s also concerned about the knock-on effect for other increases.

“It’s going to cost farmers more,” he said.

“It’s going to cost the hauliers more and that’ll ultimately put the price up in the shops too.

“I suppose people just think they have to go and do something.

“Whether it’ll achieve anything or not, you don’t know until you try.”
