Further criticism has been levelled at the Government following the increase in fuel prices.
From midnight last night, petrol has gone up by 4c per litre, with the price of diesel increasing by 3c per litre.
The Government say they are simply reinstating excise duty costs that were in place before.
But speaking to Ocean FM News, Sligo Leitrim Sinn Fein TD Martin Kenny says the price hikes are unnecessary at this time.
