Welcome fuel relief in #Budget2027—but excise increases return next spring. Use this window to establish an independent Expert Group on fuel taxes and compliance costs: protect affordability, support renewable fuels and secure stable State revenue.

Why should the VAT you pay to heat your home depend on where you live?
Gas is taxed at 9%. Home heating oil at 13.5%.
That disproportionately impacts rural, older and lower-income households.
@SimonHarrisTD should end this inequity in #Budget2027.

Cruising at 120kmph on the M7 yesterday, I was overtaken by a black Audi A6 traveling significantly faster on blue flashing lights.
I find it surprising that @gardainfo drivers are not trained to pursue criminals, but are apparently qualified to drive Ministers at over 150kmph.
