An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Dail Éireann — 2025-07-15
============================================================

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

That is deeply cynical when the cost-of-living crisis is deepening for ordinary people and when four in ten parents are cutting back on meals so their children have enough to eat. It is austerity for ordinary people, not for the landlords who will see their rents increase even faster or the property developers who will benefit from shrinkflation. We need to debate this in the Dáil instead of allowing the Government to normalise a return to austerity.
