Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Carbon Tax: Discussion

Dr. Muireann Lynch:

To reiterate, what all the research from the ESRI has shown is that if we recycle the revenues through the taxation and benefit system, everybody is better off – all cohorts across all incomes. I accept they are paying more for fuel because of the carbon tax but they would still have more money in their pocket if the revenue is recycled appropriately.
