Fuel Prices at Breaking Point | Cork News

Published 3 days, 9 hours ago
Description

Kevin McPartland warns that reintroducing fuel tax cuts, reinstating the NORA levy, and adding a carbon tax hike could spike prices by 35 cents per liter—calling it “absolutely reckless.” He argues fuel is an essential good, not a discretionary purchase, and criticizes the government for reacting to crises with short-term fixes instead of long-term strategy. McPartland urges policymakers to focus on fair revenue, renewable transition, and affordability—especially for those stuck on fossil fuels—while highlighting the irony that biofuel users pay more tax.
