We've been told by the Government that the reason we have carbon tax is to push fuel to a price that people move away from carbon fuels and into sustainable energy, but in actual fact, if the international market is already creating that…
Indeed, I would say the Government is incinerating taxpayers' money at a rate in those terms.

In terms of capital infrastructure spends last year there was about €1.6bn of overspend.
