Irish police are forcefully dragging out protesting farmers from their tractors at the Whitegate oil refinery right now and beating them up as gas prices continue to soar. The protests stem directly from rapidly rising gas and diesel costs, exacerbated by the ongoing 2026 Iran-related conflict including restrictions on oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz. The global energy shock has hit Ireland particularly hard because fuel prices there are heavily taxed—taxes make up roughly 59% of petrol prices and 52% of diesel prices as of early 2026. Protesters argue that a government package worth €250 million does not go far enough to offset the crisis or cushion knock-on effects from the Middle East situation.
