Minister of State Michael Healy-Rae says he would support the army being brought in if they’re needed to start getting oil distributed around Ireland.

He says the situation has changed hugely since yesterday, as protestors now block oil refineries and ports.

Minister of State Healy-Rae says blocking fuel from being distributed around the country is wrong and nobody should be allowed hold the country to ransom.

He says that there is still time for the government to sit down and talk to the protestors.
