The Good News:
Budget 2025 contained the highest-ever financial allocation for the Department of Environment as the Government also confirmed an increase in the carbon tax on fossil fuels.
The rate of carbon tax levied on fossil fuels will increase by €7.50 to €63.50 per tonne of carbon dioxide emissions as part of measures announced in Budget 2025.
It will add €1.28 to an average fill of petrol and €1.48 to a fill of diesel from Wednesday next week.
From May next year, it will add €0.89 to a 40kg bag of coal, €19.40 for 900 litres of home heating oil and €16.86 to a typical annual gas bill.

Will they ever just fuck off. Provide an alternative if you are going to tax so heavily.
Not enough energy for electric cars. No public transport links that run efficiently or effectively.

Might as well piss into the wind as try to do anything for the environment. As long as China, India and the USA keep doing what they are doing our gestures are a drop in the ocean.

Did they not get 14 billion from something recently or was it all spent on bike sheds and security huts?
