Councillors slam move to cut milage rates for emissions-heavy cars

Limerick councillor John Sheahan: 'There is too much of a ‘D4’ attitude going on here. Some of our members have to drive on roads with grass verges and not white lines and need robust vehicles'.

A major row between the Government and county councillors is brewing over Green Party plans to reduce mileage rates for those driving emissions-heavy cars.

Councillors have blasted what they call a “D4” culture within the Green Party in government which is “out of touch” with rural Ireland.
