There are queues at many forecourts across Waterford today as fuel shortage fears grow.

Industry figures have warned the situation could deteriorate rapidly, with some forecourts in various locations of the country already out of fuel.

It’s feared this figure could grow if blockades persist.

Queues have been reported at locations in Waterford City, Tramore, Dungarvan (pictured above) and in West Waterford including Lismore (below).

Taoiseach Micheal Martin has condemned blockades at locations of strategic importance.

Speaking earlier on Déise Today, Minister Patrick O’Donovan also criticised blockades on the M7.
