Possibly one of the most detested men to ever become Taoiseach, Micheal Martin is getting it firmly in the neck over his lack of action to combat sky high fuel costs.
Certain motorists say that they’re being forced to carpool to get to work or even social events because of the outlandish prices they’re seeing at filling stations.
Social media users say that this is precisely what the government wants people to do and that it’s no surprise to see it happening as people simply can’t afford to drive.
The government appear to be turning a blind eye to the problem with some saying that it doesn’t affect them because they’re all on massive wages.
The Russian/Ukrainian conflict may be part of the reason as to rising fuel costs, but the Green Party’s Eamon Ryan is receiving much criticism too for people seeing up to €2:20 at fuel pumps for diesel.
Hard-pressed motorists are facing massive price hikes at the pumps, courtesy of the minority Green Party.
Eamon Ryan’s focus on recently raising the carbon tax by €7.50 per tonne will translate into more misery piled onto car users, who are already paying extortionate insurance premiums.
Home heating fuels have gone up again since May 2022.
Many people on social media have been commenting that they’re seeing massive prices at garages around the country since the Budget passed.
One social media user said: “It’s impossible to just go for a spin anywhere now, it’s costs a fortune. Eamon Ryan really doesn’t want anyone to have a car at all”.
