The Government's emergency energy group meets today to discuss contingency plans in the event of fuel shortages caused by the ongoing war in Ukraine.
It'll formulate plans to supply energy to certain industries like food and medicine producers if there was to be a serious interruption to oil supplies this winter.
According to the Irish Times, the 'worst-case-scenario' plans would also involve fuel rationing at the petrol pumps, with certain service stations tasked with providing fuel to more than 40 categories of emergency and essential workers.
