Some other interesting points from that document:

"The CSO estimated total fossil fuel subsidies in Ireland amounted to €2.2 billion in 2020"

It argues that this is fine because we take in €2.5bn in taxes on fossil fuel. I'm not sure these are two figures that you can simply offset against each other.

If we want to reduce fossil fuel use we need to both stop subsidising it use *and* also stop relying on revenue from its use. Both are problematic.
