Mary Lou McDonald accused the coalition partners of hiking the cost of petrol and diesel in recent years

Mary Lou McDonald: 'Government has increased tax on fuel to such a level that we now have the highest taxes in Europe on petrol and diesel.'

Sinn Féin has pledged to permanently cut the cost of filling a car with petrol or diesel by €7, as part of cost-of-living measures announced by party leader Mary Lou McDonald.

She accused Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael of hiking the cost of fuel in recent years, saying that it is now €12 more expensive to fill a tank than it was in 2020.
