Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

In its alternative budget, Sinn Féin proposed that the excise reduction that happened should be restored in one go on 1 April of this year, unlike the Government’s step-by-step restoration. Under its plan, motorists would have seen a full 8% increase for petrol and a 6% increase for diesel on 1 April last. Once again, Sinn Féin proposes one thing in its budget proposals and then walks back from it a month later. There is no consistency in its approach.
