Taoiseach: Excise cut extension will be "definitively" decided on Tuesday

Micheál Martin said this would ensure any legislative measures required could be completed “in good time” before the Dáil’s summer recess

The Taoiseach said firms also have a role to play now that global energy prices are coming down.

The Government will make a “definitive decision” on whether to extend fuel excise cuts on Tuesday.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the Government is “mindful” of the ongoing volatility in energy markets, but he hoped this would be on a “downward trajectory” and that a deal between the US and Iran would “hold and sustain over the next while”.
