Relief will be temporary, with measures expected to be in place for just one month
Price of fuel surges close to €2.30 a litre – with further pain predicted at the pumps
The Government is likely to cut excise duty by up to one-quarter at forecourt pumps next week, which could result in a reduction of nearly 33c per litre – but only for a month.
The time-limited move would take effect immediately, but would be due to expire before the end of next month, leaving the relief dependent on developments elsewhere.
