6:00 pm

My county of Wexford will receive some €88 million to bring broadband connectivity, by fibre, to 22,000 homes. Deputy Healy-Rae does not want to hear that because it does not fit into his narrative that rural Ireland is dead, desolate and finished. It is not finished, it is vibrant in many places and areas.
Turning back to the item we are actually discussing, the introduction of carbon tax for marked green diesel, it will be €16 per 1,000 litre fill. Most average to small farmers might do three or four fills of diesel.
