Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The Government has already taken measures. We accept that people are struggling. We accept the need. There has to be targeted measures, particularly for families and directed towards children in need and children who may be vulnerable, but the budget gives us the framework, but also the opportunity in advance of it to engage with many stakeholders and people who have views on this to make sure that we deal with this strategically. What is happening is unprecedented because of the war in Ukraine. We cannot just have measures every month. That will not suffice. The budget gives us an opportunity on all fronts to redistribute the impact of the unprecedented inflationary cycle on people and to target those who are suffering the most.
