Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Ar dtús báire, ní aontaím leis an Teachta ó thaobh an mhéid tacaíochta atá tugtha ag an Rialtas do mhuintir na tíre seo, go háirithe don dream atá ar ioncam íseal. Níl aon amhras ach go bhfuil suas le €8 billiún curtha ar fáil ag an Rialtas ó thús 2022 chun cabhair agus tacaíocht a thabhairt do chosmhuintir na tíre seo i gcomhthéacs an ghéarchéim costas maireachtála. Níl aon amhras ach go bhfuil agus, go háirithe i rith an gheimhridh, go raibh géarchéim uafásach ann. Rinne an Rialtas cinneadh dearfach cabhair agus tacaíocht a thabhairt do dhaoine chun an brú a ísliú chomh fada agus is féidir linn.
I can recall the last time we introduced measures as part of the cost-of-living and budgetary package last autumn. I think the Deputy would be humble enough to admit that the measures we announced exceeded the Deputy's own presentations at that time-----
