Vote 31 - Transport (Supplementary) (25 Nov 2021)

Joe Carey: She will be aware then that the maximum level applies at €1.43 per litre. This is stitched in. The maximum amount that may be claimed back is €7.50. If the price of diesel is below €1.23, there is no rebate. Those figures are totally out of line.

Joe Carey: I thank the Minister. Could the Minister clarify when she would expect that these welcome changes to CE will come into effect?

Joe Carey: In the context of the Department of Foreign Affairs, it will end up being very costly for an individual or a family caught up in this. Are any supports available from that Department for Irish nationals who are caught abroad after contracting Covid? They could be asked to pay a substantial amount of money for hotels. Is the Department getting many of those queries at the moment? What kind...
