Protestor: Ordinary people are still 'suffering'

"We have to go out and fill our cars, vans, lorries tractors. The whole cost of living- a joke."

A local woman has said that people will still be "suffering" whenever the protests end.

Blockades were lifted at locations in both Cavan and Monaghan this morning, however rolling and go-slow protests continued.

Speaking to Northern Sound at a protest on the N2 yesterday, she claimed that there would be celebrations whenever the protest ended.

However, she feels that the issues underlining the protest will continue.

She said: "They're like, 'haha', on television this morning. 'It's all over, lets have the party now. Everyone can go to work, go to their jobs'. We're still going to be suffering tomorrow.
