Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Fine Gael Ministers are apparently insisting that the minimum charge must now be €250. A ministerial source told the media, specifically the Irish Daily Mail,

The concern is that Joan's figure is just too low - and that it could throw the whole lot back onto the national accounts. If that happens then it blows the arithmetic .... That would be a disaster.

That was a Fine Gael ministerial source in response to the Tánaiste.
