Almost a third of the country's petrol stations could run out of fuel as early as today.
Supply has already run dry at over 100 forecourts nationwide, particularly in the west, and parts of Munster.
It comes as blockades continue this morning at the main depots in Galway, Limerick, and the country's only oil refinery in Cork.
Fuels for Ireland CEO Kevin McPartlan says he's hopeful it won't come to that.
"Let's be sensible here," he pled, "We're at the situation now where essential workers will need to get fuel to go to work, emergency services need to get fuel and they are now being impeded and I really don't believe that's what the protestors intend".
Limerick
A protest remains in place at Foynes Port this morning.
Reports on the ground suggest some fuel will now be let through - for frontline emergency workers.
It's not clear how that will be separated for emergency service workers, as fuel goes to all petrol stations.
Animal feed is also being let through the port.
Dublin
O'Connell Street remains blocked today, with Green Luas trams not running between St Stephens Green and Dominic, and buses serving the quays and O’Connell St are running with diversions.
The M50 also remains heavily congested and blocked in places, with Dublin Airport urging people to leave plenty of time for their journeys.
📢 Passenger Advisory: 8am
Passengers travelling to/from Dublin Airport this morning are advised to allow extra time for their journey due to protest activity causing traffic disruption on some roads approaching the airport, including the M50.
Passengers should use live…

Negotiations
Fuel protestors are insisting they've been invited to attend talks with government today, but government insists they have not.
Representatives of those involved in go-slow convoys and blockades say some of its members from Dublin and Galway have been asked to attend the talks with a number of ministers this afternoon.
Spokesperson James Geoghegan says he was invited to talks by John Connolly - a TD in Galway.
But John Connolly says that's not the case, "I wouldn't have the liberty to invite anyone to a meeting I wasn't organising", he added.
