A Sligo Councillor has warned the government that if they decide to phase out the removal of excise cuts they can expect more protests that brought the county to a halt earlier in the year.

 

Sligo independent Councillor Michael Clarke made the comments as the government party leaders will meet tonight to make a decision about the excise cuts, which were introduced in the wake of April's fuel protests.

The reductions of 32 cent a litre on diesel and 27 cent a litre on petrol are due to expire at the end of July.

Speaking to Ocean FM news Cllr Clarke says there is already a feeling of frustration among the Irish public and rising fuel prices will be the straw that breaks the camel's back
