Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

This has been recognised by the Government. We have doubled the size of the tax measures that are afforded for in the summer economic statement. The Government has always recognised the role that taxation can play in helping those on low or middle wages keep the wage increases they get due to their hard work. We will in budget 2023 continue with the progress we have made and put together a package that helps. At the same time, I am confident it will avoid adding to the inflationary challenges we have. The Deputy's point is well made. We understand that many workers not in receipt of support through our social welfare system also face higher costs and more pressure on their wallets and purses. We will do our best in the budget to help them.
