A Sligo Leitrim TD has called for a specific set of measures to be introduced for those living in rural Ireland to address increased living costs.
Rural TD’s have called on the government to reduce taxes on petrol and diesel by at least 50 percent until the end of the year.
The Rural Independent Group claim cutting taxes on fuel would have a huge impact for people in areas without public transport:
Sligo Leitrim Independent TD Marian Harkin spoke in support of the motion yesterday in the Dáil.
Deputy Harkin says that areas where there is inadequate public transport must have tailored supports provided to them.
