The Claire Byrne Show · Government discuss a gradual reversal in the excise cuts on fuel · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

So there has been a levelling off period in terms of the price of diesel.

People can see that.

People can feel that in their pockets.

And I suppose government has a responsibility now to get the balance right.

And government knows we have to avoid a cliff edge, but we have a responsibility as well for taxpayers' money across the country.

And we have an upcoming budget coming as well.

And I just think it needs to be done in the context of that.

Yeah, I think Sinn Féin are obviously paying politics to this and it's really interesting to hear Mairead speak because originally when the first package was introduced and was announced on the Thursday before the Peirce Doherty finance spokesperson for Sinn Féin was on the floor of the Dáil calling for a 20 cent reduction on the Thursday.

Five days later, five days later on the Tuesday, there was a 20 cent reduction in diesel introduced and Sinn Féin, Peirce Doherty and all of his colleagues voted against that reduction.

So what happened in those five days?

That's my question back to Mairead.

What happened in those five days?

Because you've consistently voted against every single measure.

And other political parties, Mairead, Labour, the Stockton, they've all voted in favour of these measures being introduced, these temporary measures that were done.

And the government proved that we were very agile.

There was a 750 million package brought in.

And I suppose we're in a situation now where the leaders are meeting this evening.

I don't accept that.

We want the highest minimum wage in Europe.
