FOUR MAJOR CITIES announced last week that they would moved to stop the use of all diesel vehicles by the middle of the next decade.

The commitments were made at a biennial meeting of city leaders in Mexico last week.

There have also been calls to phase out the use of the vehicles in places like London.
So, what about here: Should diesel vehicles be phased out in Ireland?
