While we in the Rural Independent Group support the motion, it seems a little late for Sinn Féin to now be concerned about higher fuel taxes when it has consistently supported them in the past. It failed to support the Rural Independent Group when we moved motions in the House to roll back fuel taxes and scrap the carbon tax. Sinn...
