Financial Resolution No. 3: Excise Duties (Mechanically Propelled Vehicles)
9:00 pm
Liz McManus (Wicklow, Labour)
This is a con trick. It is wrong to abuse the goodwill of people who are concerned about protecting the environment and doing their bit to tackle climate change. In the budget money is being raised so that local authorities can pay their bills, particularly in regard to non-national roads. That is what this is about.
