Michael McGrath: Review €385m carbon tax

There is a strong case for a review of the carbon tax, Fianna Fáil finance spokesman Michael McGrath has said.

Deputy McGrath made the comments as Finance Minister Michael Noonan confirmed that €385m was collected through the carbon tax in 2014.

Deputy McGrath said that the carbon tax takes in almost as much money as the local property tax and considerably more than water charges will raise, yet is rarely the subject of public debate.
