Financial Resolution No. 3: Carbon Charge on Mineral Oils
7:00 pm
Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)
This measure exempts solid fuel such as peat briquettes, logs and coal from any increases in carbon tax. I do not understand the argument being made by some Deputies in respect of home heating oil that the measure should be brought forward. We have agreed it will not apply until May 2012.
