Fuel price controls

Summary

Tom Hayes asks whether legislation could control rising petrol and diesel prices; the Taoiseach says none is planned and suggests raising the issue during Finance Bill discussions.

Given the reported increases in diesel and petrol prices at the pumps, are there proposals to introduce legislation to control prices? They pose significant costs on families and businesses across the country. Can we control the prices that are reportedly increasing?

Is legislation promised in this regard?

Enda Kenny The Taoiseach Fine Gael

No. We do not have legislation. The Deputy could raise that matter, I assume, during the course of the Finance Bill.
