Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Fuel Prices: Discussion
Mr. Eugene Drennan:
It is 22 cent or 23 cent on the Continent. As to the Deputy's comments on the carbon tax, cars are being mixed in with the essential use of haulage. We are the main users, as are coach operators. Even if we get a decent rebate to keep us competitive, we will still be a significant contributor to the State in terms of fuel taxation. We are being crippled. This is where the situation does not match up. It is nearly taxation on taxation.
