Carbon Tax: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (22 Feb 2022)

Mattie McGrath: I too am amazed because I called a vote in the convention centre on the Finance Bill 2020 and nine other Independents supported me. Every other party, including those in opposition, Sinn Féin and all, voted to give away our right to debate ten years of carbon tax increases to 2030, let alone vote against them.
