    Following reports over the weekend of fuel shortages at a small number of local filling stations, Economy Minister Dr Caoimhe Archibald has reassured the public that there is no confirmed disruption to local fuel supply chains.

    The Minister said: 

    “My officials are in regular contact with the oil and fuel depots here, and I can confirm that fuel continues to be delivered as normal. We will continue to work closely with industry, other government departments, the Irish Government and British Government, and key supply-chain partners to monitor and maintain supply.”
