How generous of Simon.
Back over the border it is then!!!
So, it’ll still be over €2 for a litre of diesel.
Whoop-di-fucking-do.
The garage beside my house put their diesel up by 13 cent on Saturday 😂
Jesus Christ. The absolute minimum. And 2c off home heating oil..enjoy your tenner off on a 500L topup.
Petrol stations will still take the absolute piss
They’ll also increase the carbon tax in a few months 🤷🏼♂️
The Petrol stations will be delighted they get to eat this extra profit
They will increase it tonight/tomorrow to bring it back down for midnight tomorrow
20 cent?! They broke their bloody hearts on that didn’t they.
And they all hiked again today so they still can get the money.
Absolute joke
Most petrol stations have priced that in over the last few days, madness
Getting the decking done out the back. Gavan Lambe Murphy is cutting the ribbon.
Good of them to put a plaster on the broken leg…
Seriously these lads are taking the piss.
they failed the general public again. Colour me shocked.
Garage next door has put the price of petrol up by 11c since this morning , so in reality the price will drop by 4c.
Remember this at the next election.
There is such a massive disparity in the pricing of fuel across the board. Surely if one petrol brand has it one price it should be the same for all of them. Diesel 1.70ish to 2.35 per litre 1.70 to 2.00 per litre for unleaded.
Will the petrol stations reciprocate these reductions or continue to gouge to counter the reduction in cost?
Entirely coincidentally the price of diesel and the price of petrol have gone up by 20c and 15c respectively tonight due to „volatile market conditions“
>It is also expected that a new cross-government taskforce will be established to respond to the growing economic challenges with a focus on Ireland’s need to fast-track renewable energy.
Another multi milion taskforce is exactly what we need.
Wow, 20 whole cent of the 52 cent excise, how generous, not gona get rid of 30+ VAT on what are unambigiously „essential necessities“ & as such should never have been subject to VAT in first place.
This will be swallowed in a day by the greedy 4 court c*nts & they’ll do nothing, exactly as happened last time they did this
Revenue should be looking at the profits of fuel supply companies and taxing 99% anything over normal income.
This was their best idea after nearly a month of ‘observing’ the situation.
Like every single govt decision, it’s a half arsed *solution* that’s more an attempt to cover their arses than actually helping the people they are supposed to represent
None of it actually matters though because they’ll be voted back in the next election and the cycle will begin again. We’re truly fucked
2.28 for a liter of Diesel in Maynooth. So 2.08 when the discount kicks in and God knows how much once Israel start bombing Iranian oil fields.
Might as well rewind 3 years. It’s the same shite all over again, instead of Russia it’s Iran.
Looking forward to what will probably be the China fuel crisis in another 3 years.
20 cent FFS. Really pulling out all the stops there. I’m not surprised at all. And only until the end of May. They can’t have us going all flathulach and getting ahead of ourselves drinking from rivers of cheap diesel.
War is over.
This is why such changes should be announced after it happens not giving the industry chance to get ahead of the measures which they almost certainly have done here.
3 weeks for this response.
About time they pay for their commute to work.

[Excise tax raises that many millions per year.](https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/question/2026-01-20/398/)
Which is from [47 cents per litre](https://www.allianz.ie/blog/your-car/how-is-petrol-and-diesel-taxed-in-ireland.html) for unleaded and 37 cents per litre for diesel
so thats about 1/3 less on petrol and 50% less on deisel.
So a reduction in tax income of about 250 million from Petrol and 1000 million from diesel in a year.

If public transport was free it would reduce traffic a bit and so save you petrol money. But I do not think it would reduce traffic enough to save truck drives 20 cent a litre.
Won’t this just be inflationary and we’ll just end up where we started?.
So I’m guessing that there is no Fuel Allowance Double Payment? God forbid they do something that actually helps people.
Lol another FFG policy to line private pockets with public money. How long are we going to get ridden by this corrupt cunts?
So in reality it’ll go down 5 cent
A lot of people here talking out of their arses about shops and fuel stations raising their prices for the craic. I’m sure there are a few that are taking advantage, but the vast majority are dealing with the same shit. We’re dealing with the same headache with price notifications from Valero. Other store owners I’m talking to are trying their best to time their fuel deliveries with whatever price drops they can avail of. If you’ve shit luck and need a delivery at a crap price then that’s you fucked. It’s either hike the price to match what you’re buying in it in at and deal with the reduced footfall or take a loss on selling it. Not great options. But sure go on ahead and blame those who aren’t responsible for this mess.
They sat on their arses this long to knock 20c off when prices are hitting 2.35 per litre in some places?
They really are beyond useless and yet they will be straight back in at the next election. It’s a never-ending cycle.
Prices will be at least 20c higher by then regardless of whatever happens in iran
It’s already over 2.20 here, so even with this cut it’ll be hovering around 2 euro a litre?
Absolute farce.
So , the price of diesel went up on average by 50c since Trump’s war, it will still go another 10-15c and they are lowering duty by 20c?? Wow, great help. Thanks Gov, you are the best!!
What the fuck
