Financial Resolution No. 2: Excise - Mineral Oil Tax: Motion
Dail Éireann — 2020-10-13
============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

This is straightforward - carbon tax is an attack on rural Ireland and poor people. As has been stated, it is utterly lazy. People have no alternatives and the Government has offered none. This is a failure. Unless someone has €100,000 to pay for a high-end car, he or she will not see the benefit. That is just the way it is.
