Fuel Prices
Dail Éireann — 2023-10-05
============================================================

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

As the Minister is aware, the volatility in the international oil markets has seen a steady increase in the price of home heating oil. Home heating oil prices have increased by 30% in the past two months. More than a one third of households across the State use home heating oil as their main source of fuel. In this context, is the Minister considering tax measures to support households with the rising cost of heating, in particular those using home heating oil?
