Changes to how red diesel can be used in the UK due to come into force on April 1 could "devastate" local businesses in Co Fermanagh , a local councillor has said.
From next month it will be illegal for many businesses to use heavily rebated red diesel, with construction and manufacturing businesses among those who will be affected.
Those in the agriculture industry will still be allowed to use the much cheaper fuel option, but Fermanagh and Omagh District council vice chair Chris McCaffrey says it will be "the worst tax inflicted on rural communities in a lifetime".
