Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)
Hildegarde Naughton (Galway West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I understand that she refers to the cross-party amendment:
The Government should, prior to the introduction of any increase in carbon taxation, examine the impacts on low-income families and on the basis of these findings, introduce specific policy measures to assist those who may not be in a position to immediately transition from fossil fuels, including the potential use of social protection mechanisms, such as tax credits and welfare payments.
The Deputy wants to take that out and to have a separate recommendation. Am I correct?
