Hundreds of protesters have gathered in Ennis this morning as nationwide fuel protests continue into their sixth day.

Demonstrators met at The Height on O'Connell Street before making their way through the town holding flags and placards.

Meanwhile, traffic congestion and delays are still being felt across Clare with the on-ramp and off-ramp remain blocked at J11 Dromoland on the M18, with diverted traffic moving slowly along the old Limerick road.

Access to the Northbound lane of the M18 remains also blocked at J13 Tulla.

Protesters reiterated their call for government support with rising fuel prices.
