Question:257 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for Finance if, in view of the commitment to introduce a carbon budget in the revised Programme for Government and to introduce carbon taxes to keep Ireland’s Kyoto commitments and reduce the threat of millions of euro in penalties, he will clarify from a policy perspective if lower carbon fuels such as locally produced biofuels would be exempt from additional surcharges for carbon emissions on oil based fuels such as petrol and diesel; if this issue will be discussed in advance of the Budget 2010; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
