Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-07
============================================================

Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary

The $60 per barrel price cap on Russian oil is nothing more than virtue signalling by the EU and US. The reason is that the price of Russian crude oil was already below $60 per barrel when the cap was announced. These are more games. The people are sick and tired of this. Here we go again with statements on the European Council meeting, where the Ministers will go out and honour their European globalist friends.
