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

Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

It will lead to a €5 increase in the living alone allowance and a €3.50 per week increase in the fuel allowance. Those are the social welfare measures that will be funded as a result of this measure.
A number of Deputies raised the issue of rural Ireland. It is important to note that €20 million of the revenue will be used to pilot environmental programmes in agriculture, which is a recognition of the precarious nature of the incomes of many farmers and the importance of supporting farmers in making this change.
