Willie O'Dea (Limerick City, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I raise this question because, to the best of my recollection, in his budget speech the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, linked the fuel allowance increases to the introduction of carbon tax. He suggested that the reason fuel allowance was being increased was to compensate people for the imposition of carbon tax. I would like the Minister to elaborate on this matter.
