Government leaders have today announced a spate of cost-of-living measures to help households with rising bills, including a decision not to increase the price of petrol and diesel for a period of time.
The move to not put up the price of petrol and diesel until later this year was announced on Tuesday by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Tanaiste Micheal Martin and Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan.
Prior to the announcement, it was anticipated that the government would retain some of the tax reductions on petrol and diesel taxes for motorists.
