============================================================

Paul Kehoe (FG), Wexford

The Taoiseach is very much aware that since the last budget, the cost of living and inflation have risen dramatically. I know there was a recent meeting involving all party leaders and we are now looking at the squeezed middle. I know the Government wants to do everything possible to address this ever more urgent matter. It is affecting a large number of families.
I have three requests for the Taoiseach and his Ministers to consider. I ask that the electricity rebate be increased from the current proposal on the table. I ask that the fuel allowance period be extended. I also ask that the social protection payments due to come into effect in June be brought forward to the spring.
