The peaceful blockade by fuel protestors at Foynes Port – which had begun the previous Tuesday – was stood down at lunchtime on Sunday.
The group said they took a vote early that morning and decided to end their protest.
In a social media post, Independent TD Richard O’Donoghue said: “We’ve taken a vote with the people who have been here for the last five or six days in Foynes – the hauliers, the agricultural contractors, the people who have been here, and the community. We are going to pull out peacefully as we came in peacefully at one o’clock today.”
Added agricultural contractor Neilus O’Connor: “We came here to make a point, and we have done that. It’s just a pity that we had to escalate a protest to this level to bring our government to the table to get fairness for every working person in the country.”
The decision came after constructive dialogue with local Gardaí, led by Superintendent Michael Fleming.
The full restoration of fuel supply to all of County Limerick could take up to the early days of next week, it is understood.
Routes around Limerick that, as part of the protest, were blocked for much of last week were also lifted at the weekend.
The Government has signed off on €500 million in measures to support those struggling with rising energy costs.
There will also be direct payments to hauliers, bus operators, farmers, and agricultural contractors.
Its big move was the further 10c cut in excise on both petrol and diesel from last night (Tuesday) to the end of July.
There is also a new reduction of 2.4c on green diesel, while carbon tax increases have been delayed until the Budget in October.
