					<description><![CDATA[The Irish Petrol Retailers Association (IPRA) has called on Government not to remove the temporary reduction in fuel duties at the end of July and to freeze any further increases in fuel-related taxes and duties, warning that additional rises would place further pressure on households, businesses, and communities already facing significant cost-of-living challenges.
