A Galway East TD says there is a 'serious lack of trust' in Government by fuel protestors, as protests in Galway port and around the country continue today.
Fine Gael TD Pete Roche, who played a key role in organising meetings with protest representatives that were turned away yesterday evening, is calling for a resolution to be reached as soon as possible.
he was told by Tanaiste Simon Harris that 'considerable progress' was made in these negotiations.
This contradicts The Irish Farmers' Association criticisms on the pace of talks, claiming that the government didn't put any proposals on the table yesterday.
Talks between representative groups and the Ministers for Agriculture and Transport are due to resume in the coming moments.
Deputy Roche believes that a resolution could be reached 'within hours' if talks today go well.
