Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald calls on Taoiseach to recall Dáil early over excise cuts

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has formally requested that the Taoiseach recall the Dáil early to address the scheduled unwinding of excise duty reliefs on petrol and diesel. McDonald argues that the government should pass a financial resolution to prevent the impending price increases for motorists.

In response to the request, Enterprise Minister Peter Burke stated that the potential recall of the Dáil is currently under review by Coalition leaders. The situation remains developing as the government considers its position on the excise relief measures.
