Government TDs are split on the introduction of a carbon tax in tomorrow's budget. 

Some are concerned about the impact on people in rural areas heating their homes and what an increase in diesel costs would do for some industries.

Carbon tax increased would up the cost of coal and briquettes as well as adding to the price of a litre of petrol or diesel. 

Fine Gael TD Colm Brophy isn't sold on the measure.
