Pádraig O'Sullivan
Ceist:142. Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance if his Department has assessed proposals for a mechanism under which no further VAT or excise would be applied to petrol and diesel once the retail price reaches a set threshold, such as €1.70 per litre; the estimated annual cost to the Exchequer of such a mechanism at current and forecast pump prices; and his Department's view on its compatibility with the EU VAT Directive and the Energy Taxation Directive.
