Irish military forces have been deployed to remove vehicles blocking critical infrastructure as fuel protests continue across the country.

Protesters have been walking along motorways toward Dublin Airport as part of ongoing demonstrations related to fuel issues. The protests have resulted in significant disruptions to transportation networks.

The Irish government made the decision to involve military personnel after protesters used vehicles to block what authorities described as critical infrastructure. The exact nature and extent of the blockades was not immediately clear.

The deployment of military assets to address civilian protests represents an escalation in the government's response to the ongoing fuel-related demonstrations. Further details about the scope of the military involvement and the duration of the protests were not available.
