No tax get it all paid by a weak and pathetic government by the tax payer. It annoys me to see 2017 2017 suv turning up driven by the unemployed at schools. Ireland is a joke

Cancel one fucking jumbo jet out of Dublin and it would save the same emissions as all the cars in ireland for a year. Cancel 2 and it looks good. But travel for rich Americans is more important for ireland. Let’s just tax the over taxed while letting those who pay

No we're not warming to any more taxes, enough is enough. Carbon tax is a tax on the poor and Rural communities. Home heating oil should be exempt from this penal tax. No more tax

If everyone assumes that carbon tax will simply be a revenue-raising tax, that’s exactly what we’ll get from our politicians. The Revenue should be re-directed to carbon saving innovation which will benefit all.

Pulling at the heart strings.... more tax on the way! meanwhile corporations do what they like in the name of profit

The EU, UN, various billionaires do not care about the earth. They care about a new tax, about taking more wealth from the middle and lower. Enough of this propaganda please.

Great solution to global warming; more tax!!!

Ireland paying a carbon tax will have zero impact on the climate

India and China probably produces more carbon emissions in 2 hours what Ireland would produce in a year ..but yes must do our bit..

Will we still be paying the Carbon Tax in 11,000 years when we are buried under a mile of ice from the next Ice Age?

We cannot introduce a carbon tax without significant infrastructure change, or subsidising alternatives.

irishenergyblog BirdWatchIE Irishwildlife No - And we are waking up to the sham that is climate change and the appalling destruction of the environment to solve a problem that prevails only in the minds of Malthusians.

How can you do it when so many people live in the arsehole of nowhere with no public transport and poor I infrastructure in a handful of cities.

No

Only middle class privileged wealthy elites would be promoting more taxes. Many ordinary peasants can't afford to pay rent and bills. It's the Macrons and virtue signalers of this world who can afford to pay more taxes. China & other countries pollute so much this ideas is insane

No we're not. Not even a little bit. You cant tax you're way to prosperity and equally you cannot tax your way to a cleaner enviroment.

Of course we are ......and when they scare the bejaysus out of us enough about our poor water quality we will all flock to pay water charges to 'fix' the non existent problem. - problem - reaction - solution
