Jennifer Murnane O'Connor (FF), Carlow-Kilkenny

The Taoiseach spoke about next week's budget and we all have our own submissions in, which is important. There are huge issues with retention, recruitment, pay and conditions across the public sector from community workers to section 39 workers, and those who are upholding and guiding people in law and those who are serving in emergency services. I am very aware of the great work that is being done in my own area of Carlow but there are also huge issues. What can we do to support those who are about to withdraw services such is their frustration right now?
