Ms Louise Lennon:

On the impact of the cost-of-living measures, the cost-of-living crisis is not over. We see that especially for essential food items with the people we represent. The meals on wheels services are feeling the impact of that too. As I mentioned, we need to start investing in social welfare and providing adequate income for people on low incomes. The one-off measures did not bring up the consistent poverty rate. There would have been a slight increase had they not been there, but we need to start focusing on lifting people out of poverty.
