An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-08
============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I will take the questions in reverse order. The Government will make a decision on the cost-of-living supports roughly around the middle of the month, hopefully next week if not the week after.
On the windfall tax, I will have to speak to the Minister for Finance. However, we are bringing in a windfall tax and intend to use the money to help businesses and families struggling with the cost of living.
On the question of making a statement on the matter Deputy McDonald raised, I will not be able to do that this week. I will be on a plane to Brussels in a few hours' time because I have to attend the European Council meeting and nobody can substitute for me. However, I am in this House twice a week and will be happy to answer any questions the Deputy has on any of those matters to the best of my ability. Where decisions I have made were correct, I will explain why. If they were wrong, I will say they were wrong.
