Fuel Prices

Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

I am sure that what those owners do not want to hear is the over and back between the Deputy and me. They do deserve honesty in both directions. They should know what the Sinn Féin policy was, namely that there would be an 8 cent increase in the price of petrol in the month of April and 6 cent increase in the price of diesel. They deserve to know that, despite what the Deputy might be saying to them in private conversations. He should go back and look at what his party published and what it actually provided for. As part of his playbook, the Deputy attempts to be responsible on budget day. However, every week, he comes into the Dáil, seeks to spend more money and says that we should keep this under review and that we should do more here, there and everywhere. This is ultimately about managing the nation's money responsibly.
I never said that the country is awash with money, Deputy Healy-Rae. I never said that. We publish----
