TD calls for mandatory 'PumpWatch' system to publish live fuel prices across IrelandJames CoxFianna Fáil TD Shay Brennan has called for the introduction of a mandatory national “PumpWatch” system that would require every petrol station in Ireland to publish its petrol and diesel prices in real time to a central public database. Brennan said the proposal would introduce a simple and transparent system that would make fuel pricing more visible to motorists. “Drivers should be able to see fuel prices before they reach the pump. PumpWatch would simply mandate those same prices to be reported digitally so drivers can see them before they arrive. Brennan said he would now be engaging with Government colleagues and relevant agencies to explore how a mandatory national PumpWatch system could be introduced in Ireland, taking the recently implemented UK model as a practical example.
