A Co Cavan campaigner has described the Government's lack of interaction towards protesters as "despicable."
Saoirse Ní Bhaoigheallain is a member of the Community Action Tenants Union (CATU) and has travelled to join protesters on O'Connell street today.
Saoirse says action must be taken and a cap on fuel prices is needed as regular people cannot afford current prices.
CATU has organised a protest calling to cap fuel prices outside Cavan Court House on Friday the 17th of April at 5pm.
Jodie Curran has been speaking with the local campaigner.
