The representative body for petrol stations and fuel providers has accused the Government of 'misleading' the public to believe the price of fuel would drop as soon as excise cuts came into effect

In an email to Taoiseachon Thursday, Mr McPartlan said he was “proud” of the efforts of fuel providers and petrol stations during the challenging period.

The industry representative said the Government had given the public the “false impression” that prices at the pump would reduce from midnight on Wednesday, when the excise cuts came into effect. “It has given people a false impression that prices would reduce immediately, which was impossible as excise on those supplies had already been paid,” he wrote. has been called on to investigate alleged price hikes by fuel providers just before the excise cuts came into effect, with both Opposition and Government TDs criticising the increases.

It is expected the meeting will be attended by Minister for Public Expenditure Michael McGrath, Minister of State for Enterprise Robert Troy, and Minister of State for Retail Damien English. The time of the meeting is to be finalised, but it is understood it may be after 3pm.
