Its not going to happen anyway - no government will introduce it imo as it will be seen to be 'anti-country' and pro-Dublin.
Which of course it would be. All this talk about leaving the car at home and using the bus/Luas/Dart makes me laugh. Here in rural Donegal the car is the only means of transport available. There is no choice. The green brigade with their so-called 'carbon-tax' say that putting up the cost of fuel will encourage people to ditch the car. How can you when there is no alternative? People need to cop on and realise that Dublin isn't the entire country.
