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

Carol Nolan (IND), Laois-Offaly

Green policies and agendas will cost the country dearly. That is particularly evident in the midlands where many industries have ground to a halt and there have been significant job losses. Here we are again seeing an unfair carbon tax being imposed on people. As the Independent Farmers of Ireland stated today, this is a pay cut for farmers and contractors. It is regressive for rural Ireland, which is being punished for the sake of an aspirational and impractical agenda.
