- Financial Resolution No. 1: Excise (1 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: I will speak to Financial Resolution No. 2 on the VAT on gas and electricity. Households continue to struggle under the weight of high energy bills. We know that electricity prices over the past three years have increased by almost 50% and gas prices have increased by more than 84%. Irish electricity prices remain among the highest in the European Union. All the while this is happening,...

In our alternative budget, published last week, the Labour Party proposed this measure should be...

Matt Carthy: I will try not to. I want to speak to Financial Resolution No. 1 on the increase in the price of cigarettes and tobacco products. This is not a popular thing to say but I am completely opposed to such a hike in the cost of cigarettes. I believe it is vindictive. It will not deliver the stated ambition of the Government. Yes, rates of smoking dropped from 27% in 2024 to 17% in 2019. This...

Michael Healy-Rae: On behalf of every adult person in Ireland who smokes I absolutely object to this massive increase. Of course we want to see a society where people do not smoke but there are people who are dependent on cigarettes. It is not so much that they enjoy it but it is part of what they do. I totally disagree with what the Minister said earlier, whereby he said it was the continuous increase in...
