All the deadly revolutionary lads in here told me the protestors won though .
Seen a lad on Facebook talking about how he has to shut down his business and ends with a trump quote unironically.
I have to wonder if the claim about us being one of the most educated countries in Europe/the world is true after the past week. We’re a shower of fools

Maybe policy decisions shouldn’t be made by lads on tractors parked up on O’Connell street?

I dont know what people were expecting. The govement dont set the price.
Its the same logic as those who want subsadies for housing. Lets give everyone a 10% subsadie for people renting. Now everyone has an extra 10% so landlords put up prices to match it.

No way, it’s like the Irish government doesn’t control the global oil prices. That and the lower excise duty only comes into effect on diesel that garages have bought since Tuesday. Local place got refilled yesterday morning and are selling at €1.89, there’s a place in Killarney that are €1.88.

I demand the government borrow €100 billion so they subsidize diesel prices to €1 a litre for a few years.

Down lots for me in Cavan. I didn’t bother going over the border this week as the fuel up there is still going up
191 was cheapest for petrol last week. Just filled up for 179 on the Dublin road

Prices were cut by 10 cent and dropped by 10c, was it expected to drop more suddenly nothing else has changed in terms of the global crisis?

And now, thanks to intervention for businesses, the options available to help the people, will be far more limited.
Hauliers can push their price expenses on to customers as soon and as aggressively as they like. But we are now subsidising them, they will still increase prices and we (the people) will have less supports available to us.
These “protests” were not for the people. They were for a caball of business owners to extort a money grab.

The ordinary PAYE worker who has to commute is the most affected. No income tax reliefs, just monthly expenses going up.

This is just government wealth going directly to oil companies.
They will for the most part eat it as profit, we don’t see all that big a benefit. Then afterwards the government has less money, companies have more money, normal people are still making choices about budgeting, trip planning, sticking the dryer on at night to save a few quid, maybe a half hour less of the heating on a day etc. Wonderful stuff.

I really hope the government don’t make any more interventions on fuel prices – it is a poor use of public funds. It costs huge amounts (€500-€750m) to make the smallest intervention, which barely helps anyone anyway. We should be upgrading the country’s infrastructure – particularly in public transport and renewable energy.

505 million gone in a flash. Pissing against the wind.
Stupid poxy protestors and stupid poxy government.
Between this and the late March fossil fuel intervention, that’s almost a billion gone – or to put that into perspective, about half the Anglo bailout or the national children’s hospital. And it’s made zero difference.
What they should’ve said was “the price of kerosene and natural gas are both way too high. We’re doing a national programme of replacing your existing boilers with heat pumps, starting now, no cost to you. To fund it we’re bringing the carbon tax increase forward. A small pain today for better bills in the winter.”

Why do people think fuel prices will be low when there’s a war on that’s blocking 20% of global supply.. very naive to think Ireland is insulated from this.
If they don’t like it, buy solar panels and an EV so you’re independent of fossil fuels.

We continue to remain in the middle of European countries. Headlines like this continue to make an issue seem like it is Ireland specific, when it is not.

One station in Ballina Co. Mayo, charging 189.9 for diesel today, did not think I’d see it below €2 anywhere for a long time.

I for one am shocked — SHOCKED — that garages are trying to claw back lost profits after a dry weekend of social hooliganism and that oil is ultra expensive internationally because the US is a pirate nation led by a stupid madman. Shocked!

This data was released by the AA on the 14th so seems a bit misleading as the excise reducti9n came into effect at midnight on the 14th. Prices aren’t going to instantly drop

It’s insane to me there isn’t a single political party in Ireland that opposed the duty cuts on the basis that they wouldn’t actually do anything.

Fuel prices remain high because the global supply chain remains disrupted. No domestic intervention can solve the actual problem

I live in the Netherlands. Diesel is around €2.75 here. You guys are living the dream.
