Independent Ireland MEP Ciaran Mullooly feels it's needed to ease the cost of living.
A Midlands MEP is demanding a further suspension of EU carbon tax to ease cost of living pressures.
It comes as the European Commission is set to temporarily relax state aid rules to help with electricity and energy prices.
A planned increase in the tax for May has already been deferred until the next Budget as part of Government's emergency response package following the fuel protests.
Independent Ireland MEP Ciaran Mullooly says it's having an impact beyond day to day costs:
