Departmental Priorities
Dail Éireann — 2023-03-07
============================================================

Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary

I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. It is nice to get an insight into his Department and the number of senior officials who give him advice and help formulate policy, but I have some issues around the economic decisions of our country that have impacted on us so badly since the bank guarantee and the bailout. I have issues with the way we deal politically with the banks and the hands-off approach we take. My group has a motion tomorrow on cash and the need for it to continue to be available to people. I wonder at times cén sort advice the Taoiseach gets and whether he always act on the advice he gets.
