Departmental Policies
Dail Éireann — 2022-06-16
============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

There has been a significant amount of to and fro today arising from the fact that a huge number of people are now in serious financial difficulty due to rising costs. I accept the Government cannot do everything but we need to see it doing more. We want to see an emergency budget, but I will not get into that now. We could talk about the Economic and Social Research Institute, ESRI, report and the views of the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council, IFAC, and the Central Bank. What promises will be made with a view to mitigating the difficulties people are experiencing?
