Financial Resolution No. 2: Excise (Mineral Oil)
8:00 pm
Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)
The revenue we are raising from a carbon tax would allow the Minister for Finance to reduce PRSI for people coming off the dole. It is exactly as the ESRI recommended. The ESRI also recommended that VAT should be reduced and we have again done that with some of the carbon revenue raised.
