Given any diesel from before 2018 used a defeat device to pass emissions standards, and there are a lot of cars still on the road from before 2018, I don’t see this as an issue.

> Fuels for Ireland, formerly known as the Irish Petroleum Industry Association, says Government plans to further increase carbon tax will exacerbate already challenging conditions for Irish motorists and hauliers. The industry group, which represents Irish fossil fuel importers and distributors, has called on the Government to establish an expert group on taxation to examine the impact of fuel tax increases on the wider economy.
Industry group who sells a thing is complaining that less of a thing will be sold if taxes are going up. In the minds of these folks we will be using fossil fuels for everything indefinitely, climate catastrophy be damned.

Driving up the price of transport drives up the price of everything. This country is far too expensive
