Photo: AP PHOTOProtesters in Ireland demanding government action on surging fuel prices have used tractors and trucks to block a port, ‌fuel terminal and oil refinery for a fourth day, prompting the ‌prime minister to warn the country may have to turn away fuel deliveries. Industry ‌group Fuels for ‌Ireland said ⁠more than 100 petrol stations had run out of ​fuel and that number could rise to 500 by Friday evening.

Delivery firm DPD said it was suspending services in Ireland on Saturday due to the protests.
