Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Finance if measures to offset the rising cost of fuel through a reduction in excise duty on fuels, a reduction of 20 cents on petrol and 15 cents on diesel fuel, will be continued for the duration of 2023; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 243 and 269 together.
As the Deputies will be aware, these reduced rates are set to expire on 28th February 2023. In making any decision the Government will balance the costs of the measures in question against their social and economic impact. This matter is currently being considered.
