flag Ireland's carbon tax, introduced in 2010, sees mixed effectiveness in cutting emissions.

flag Ireland's carbon tax, introduced in 2010 to curb carbon emissions, has faced criticism for not significantly reducing emissions. flag While emissions fell 3% in 2019 and 3.6% in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions, they rose 4.5% in 2021 due to increased coal and oil use. flag In 2022, emissions dropped 1.9% due to higher fuel prices and more renewable energy use. flag The tax's effectiveness is debated, but it remains a key part of Ireland's green economy transition.
