PQ 448
448. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation the total amount of revenue generated by the carbon tax since its introduction in 2010, broken down on an annual basis; to provide a detailed breakdown of how this revenue has been allocated and spent in each year since its introduction; the amounts directed towards social protection measures, retrofitting programmes, agri-environment schemes and any other expenditure headings; to clarify whether all carbon tax revenues are being fully ring-fenced, as committed to under Government policy; if not, the reasons for any shortfall; and where the remaining funds have been allocated, in light of suggestions that only 61% went to the targeted areas in 2025, as set out by Government policy.
