The number of garage forecourts without fuel in Ireland could rise to 500 by Friday night if blockades continue, according to the CEO of Fuels for Ireland.
Kevin McPartlan said more than 100 garages are currently without fuel but said the number will rise if the situation is not resolved.
Slow-moving convoys have been protesting against high fuel prices caused by the US and Israeli war against Iran.
Travel across parts of the Republic of Ireland has been affected for the fourth day in a row on Friday as vehicles, including tractors, block roads. This afternoon Irish government officials have been meeting representative bodies to try to resolve the situation.
Taoiseach (Irish PM) Micheál Martin said that the blockades mean the country is "on the precipice of turning oil away from the country" amidst a global oil supply crisis.
