  • Between J28 Castletroy (near Annacotty) and J29 (N24) Ballysimon (Limerick).
  • Between J30 M7/N18/M20 (Limerick) and J28 Castletroy (near Annacotty).
  • Between J4 Patrickswell and J3 Raheen (near Patrickswell).

Tipperary councillor Louise Morgan Walsh has been posting regular advice for drivers throughout the protest. Her most recent guidance is as follows:

With supply chains disrupted and major routes through Portumna, Cashel, and Limerick City facing gridlock, we strongly recommend:

  • Keep your tank topped up: Ensure you have enough fuel in your vehicle for emergencies or unexpected long diversions.
  • Avoid the “red light”: Don’t wait until you’re low—local stations in Nenagh and Portumna are already reporting high demand and potential short-term outages.
  • Check live reports: Follow local An Garda Síochána Tipperary social media, Google Maps, and TII Traffic before setting off.
