Calls for Government to halt reversal of petrol and diesel excise cuts

Prices at the petrol pumps skyrocketed in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The Irish Petrol Retailers Association (IPRA) has urged the Government to halt the increase in excise duty which is due to come into place in March.

Excise duty was cut in March 2022 in response to a jump in prices on forecourts as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, among other factors.
