I am a spokesperson for older people and I have concerns around pension-age people in terms of food or fuel at this point. It is getting out of hand. We have many people coming through the doors of our office with those problems. The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council mentions the rainy day quite a bit in its report. What does the council feel is the best approach to a rainy-day fund in terms of its structure? How is it funded and what would it be used for?
