Did you know that Ireland has been cutting fuel prices for 8 days already? Italian sheep to be shorn
In the Republic of Ireland, a reduction in excise duties on petrol and diesel has come into force as the BBC announces. All this for over eight days. Despite this, the Irish are complaining about the high prices. Who knows if they saw the Italian ones !!!
On Wednesday, March 9, the Dáil (lower house of the Irish parliament) voted in favor of cutting excise duties. Gasoline was reduced by 20 cents per liter and diesel by 15 cents per liter. This has also caused an emigration for fuel from Londonderry and Donegal in search of cheaper fuel than the UK. This noma of the Republic of Ireland will be in effect until the end of August at a cost of 320 million euros. The decision was taken when the government saw that on the one hand the purchasing power of families was being severely eroded, and on the other hand there was the real danger of an inflationary flare-up due to the explosion in the prices of freight transport. A decision strongly supported by the population. The government then granted € 200 as aid on bills this month, to avoid these too weighing heavily on household budgets.
Do you think the opposition was happy? No. The leaders of Sinn Feinn , the main opposition party, called these measures already partially eroded by the increases and a kind of impartial half-measure, which fails to cope with the real price increases, and they asked, curtly, for a doubling of the same.
It almost seems like Italy where Draghi and Franco did a lot to help families and motorists, so much so that the latter spontaneously decided to leave their cars at home to help Cingolani's ecological efforts and become greener … In the meantime they settled for being broke.
