Finance (Covid-19 and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Second Stage
Dail Éireann — 2022-03-09
============================================================

Danny Healy-Rae (IND), Kerry

The Government is making no material difference with what it is suggesting that we vote for later today. It is very unfair. The Government is being dishonest with the people. It could do more. It is saying that it cannot do more and that it is being stopped by Europe. I ask the Government to think of the people trying to go to work, morning after morning, and what it is costing them. I ask the Government to think of the farmers whose backs are to the wall and the employers. It is jeopardising all of this by not helping them in a meaningful way. The Government is making no attempt to help them. The Greens, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael will suffer as a result of this, because the people are completely disillusioned with what is going on here in this Chamber in these times.
