Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The windfall tax will generally go back into the Exchequer, primarily to try to help with the cost-of-living measures we have introduced for everybody in the country. That will be the purpose of the windfall tax but it will not go anywhere near the amount of money we have spent. As I said earlier, we spent about €8 billion since the beginning of 2022, between taxation and expenditure measures.
