Carbon tax revenue to fund cost of living measures, Taoiseach says

PA Wire

Measures to tackle the rising cost of living set to be announced this week will largely be funded by revenue from the carbon tax, the Taoiseach has said.

Micheal Martin has rejected calls to defer increases to the carbon tax due to be introduced in May, which will further drive up energy costs for consumers, saying Government must not give into “short-termism” in the face of the climate crisis.
