Financial Resolution No. 14: EXCISE — Mechanically Propelled Vehicles
11:00 pm
Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour)
An increase will be imposed on large public service vehicles which are used only for the carriage of children. If the Minister was serious about a green measure, those are the class of vehicles which should have had their motor taxes reduced.
The 8 cent increase on petrol is actually the carbon tax which the Minister referred to in his survey on carbon taxes earlier in the year.
