A Kerry County Councillor says if the Government is serious about helping businesses and workers it needs to absorb the increase in fuel prices.
Councillor Marie Moloney says this increase has a knock-on effect on everyone, and now businesses that are buckling under costs are now facing increased delivery costs.
Cllr Moloney notes people living in rural Ireland do not have access to public transport, so a car is not a luxury but a necessity.

She adds that the price of fuel constantly increasing puts more pressure on people already under stress with the cost of living.
