Food Costs and High Grocery Bills: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2023-05-09
============================================================

Louise O'Reilly (SF), Dublin Fingal

If you go to the supermarket now, right beside every single checkout there are essentials and not treats. Please do not tell people again to shop around. Jesus, they are doing that. They are shopping around. They are buying own-brand. They are put to the pin of their collar. Thus, when we say the Government is out of touch, we mean its members need to hear what people are going through. They need to understand that. They need to take action. They should not just give fine, sweet words, but take action.
