Commitment

Halt scheduled annual carbon tax increases

What this means

  • Sinn Féin is a political party that contested the 2024 Irish general election with a published manifesto of policy commitments.[source]
  • The party promised to halt the annual carbon tax increases that were scheduled by the Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael-led government.[source]
  • This commitment was made on 19 November 2024 as part of their general election manifesto and remains a promise, not yet delivered.[source]
  • Stopping these increases would affect how much households and businesses pay on fossil fuels, making it a significant cost-of-living issue for voters.[source]
  • Tracking whether this promise is acted on matters for accountability, as carbon tax policy directly affects energy bills and climate targets.[source]
