Commuters are being warned to expect widespread disruption around Dublin as truckers block the main arterial routes and parts of the city centre.
They're protesting over the rising price of fuel and say its severely affecting their business.
The group, which named itself The People of Ireland Against Fuel Prices, say they will continue protesting until there is a resolution to the issue and have warned they are prepared to remain in place for at least a week.
Gardaí are advising commuters to plan accordingly.
Already the southbound bore of the Dublin port tunnel has been closed as traffic is blocked around the East Wall area. While traffic is blocked for those heading over Tom Clarke Bridge from East Wall Road and Sean Moore Road due to the demonstration.
