Finance Bill 2012 (Certified Money Bill): Committee and Remaining Stages
1:00 am
Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael)
The Senators raised a number of issues. On budget day the average litre of petrol cost €1.50, and then various people who opposed both the carbon tax and the increase in VAT in the budget made exaggerated claims of how much that contributed to increases in the price of a litre of petrol or diesel. It would reinforce one's views of the need to examine the teaching of mathematics in the education system.
