'Hundreds of thousands at risk of fuel poverty' must be protected from carbon tax hikes, says Social Justice Ireland

The Joint Committee on Climate Action has published its cross-party report.

Update: Hundreds of thousands of people in Ireland will struggle to afford increases to heating and fuel prices as a result of carbon tax hikes.

Social Justice Ireland has issued the warning on the back of a report which recommends raising carbon tax from €20 to at least €80 per tonne by 2030.
