Summary
Deputy Calleary asked when legislation to ring-fence carbon tax receipts would be introduced. The Minister said it would be part of the Finance Bill and the long-term trajectory remained for the Minister for Finance and the Dáil.
To continue the debate, when is it proposed to introduce the legislation to ring-fence the revenues raised from the carbon tax?
Comment on this
In the absence of the Minister for Finance, I will take that question. The legislation will form part of the Finance Bill. There is an issue as to whether we should make a commitment in respect of the long-term trajectory, but it is one for the Minister for Finance and the Dáil to decide.
