Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
The Government has confirmed that the planned increases in petrol and diesel excise duty due in September and October will not now go ahead, following growing pressure over rising fuel costs.
The move will be welcomed by motorists and businesses, but questions remain about what happens later in the year.
To react to this news, Alan Morrissey was joined by Ennis haulier and Deputy Vice President of the Irish Road Haulage Association, Eugene Drennan and Fianna Fáil Councillor and oil merchant, Alan O’Callaghan.
