I want to know how that is monitored and what the Department's involvement is. I want to know about the Department's interaction with Insurance Ireland. I want to know that we have a strategy in place that benefits the public.

Audited Financial Statements of the Exchequer for 2020 (5 May 2022) Verona Murphy: I want to focus on how the Department manages Ireland's competitiveness, including strategies employed with the likes of carbon taxes. We have spoken about reductions already. We are now at €41 per tonne for the carbon tax and Germany is at €25 per tonne. We have vehicle registration tax at a level between 7% and 37% on cars but Germany has no such tax. What strategies are...

Without any shadow of a doubt, there is nothing to stop the State reducing its carbon tax in line with Germany, or just...

We are not neighbouring any other country and are an island nation. Our nearest competitor is outside of the EU and is not subject to any rules.
