Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 September 2021
173. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will provide a full breakdown of the revenue generated by the carbon tax under the heading of continuation of 2020 carbon tax investment programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47245/21]
View answerMatters in relation to revenue generated by taxation measures, including the carbon tax, are a matter for the Minister for Finance. However, I will note that alongside Budget 2021, my Department published a paper that detailed how much the carbon tax is expected to raise in 2021, the allocation of the resulting funds in line with the Programme for Government commitments, as well as detail on the specific programmes receiving funding. The document remains available at the following location: budget.gov.ie/Budgets/2021/Documents/Budget/Carbon%20tax%20document.pdf
Questions in relation to the operation of these programmes should be directed to the Minister responsible for the programme in question.
