Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Engagement with Ms Marie Donnelly
2:00 pm

It has also been introduced in legislation in France. It has a carbon tax which will also increase progressively during the years. I do not know what the precise figure is, but it will increase.

It is a way of moving people through the market mechanisms, rather than through legislation.
