Confidence in Government: Motion
Dail Éireann — 2022-07-12
============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

Last week, it demanded an early budget to tackle the cost of living, but Sinn Féin is not sincere about that. It is not really on the side of hard-working Irish families. If its motion of no confidence had been passed, we would have been faced with an election in August and, with it taking several months to form a government, the budget would be pushed back and people would not get the help they need this winter.
My second point is that this is a good Government, one that I believe is doing good work.
