BREAKING: Bikers gather on The Parade ahead of more fuel protests in Kilkenny

Local bikers have gathered on The Parade in Kilkenny City ahead of another day of protesting on the M9 motorway in Danesfort.

The group of bikers are set to depart from the city centre at 12.30pm this afternoon (Sunday) to join the protest.

Demonstrators and heavy goods vehicles have convened on the local road over the past week to voice their disapproval at rising fuel costs.

"Please, everyone in the group, try and make an effort to come tomorrow afternoon, if it's only for one hour, it will make a massive difference," the group posted to social media on Saturday evening.
