Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Carbon Tax: Discussion

Mr. Gerry Kenny:

To be fair, the Senator is right in the sense the aviation sector is beginning to come under the spotlight. Conversations are starting at European level. Until now, aviation fuel has been exempt from excise duty at EU level. This is something that will be discussed by the incoming Commission and I suspect it will look at options in this regard. It is outside our remit for now.
