Post European Council Meeting: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2025-03-26
============================================================

Cathy Bennett (SF), Cavan-Monaghan

Did the Government speak in favour of decoupling at the European Council? If so, does the Minister of State acknowledge it was a mistake not to implement this years ago while families and businesses are suffering? Does he accept the Government wilfully failed to employ every tool at its disposal to alleviate the undue financial burdens that families and businesses are suffering under? If so, will the Government begin to implement the necessary reform today, rather than many months from now?
