red gas pump refueling a car at station

Things have been dicey for a while on the Emerald Isle. But great googly moogly, do they look just awful right now. Mass protests have broken out across the country over the cost of living and the exorbitant price of fuel, with a paralyzed, intransigent government seen as unsympathetic and unwilling to do anything to relieve the suffering of the Irish working class.
