Fuel prices and excise duty

Summary

The Taoiseach treats proposals to moderate fuel prices and review excise duty as budgetary matters, inviting Members to submit their views before final decisions.

Enda Kenny The Taoiseach Fine Gael

Yes, authorisation was given to follow through on that decision.

The second issue raised by the Deputy is a budgetary matter. The Minister for Finance will be happy to take proposals from Members before final decisions are made on the budget. The Deputy will have the opportunity to put forward his views.
