David Maxwell TD spoke in the Dáil: Fuel Prices

On 25 June 2026, Fine Gael Teachta Dála David Maxwell of the Cavan‑Monaghan constituency took to the floor of the Dáil to contribute to a question on fuel prices. The TD’s remarks were recorded in the official debate transcript and followed the broader parliamentary discussion on the cost of petrol and diesel for Irish households.

Maxwell, who has represented Cavan‑Monaghan since his election in 2024, is a long‑time local politician with roots in County Monaghan. He entered politics in 2004 and has been returned at every subsequent election, serving as Cathaoirleach of the county council in 2018 and again in 2023. Outside politics he works as an undertaker and has been involved in community arts through the Garage Theatre Company.

In his contribution to the fuel‑price question, Maxwell highlighted concerns about rising energy costs and their impact on families across the region. He urged the government to consider measures that could ease the burden on consumers while maintaining a fair market for suppliers. His comments were part of a broader parliamentary effort to address price volatility in the fuel sector, which has seen heightened scrutiny from both politicians and the public.

Earlier in the week, Maxwell had also attended a meeting with other Oireachtas members and county councillors to discuss funding gaps in Cavan’s road network. The session, held at the County Council premises, underscored the need for additional investment to bring local roads up to standard, a topic that has long been on the agenda of both national and local representatives.

The debate on fuel prices reflects ongoing concerns about energy affordability in Ireland, especially as households face higher costs amid global market fluctuations. Maxwell’s participation underscores his commitment to representing Cavan‑Monaghan residents’ interests at the national level.
