I thank both Ministers for coming to the committee. Some 70% of people are worried about the cost of living. If there is a balance of €8.7 billion at the end of this year and €6.3 billion next year, why is a cost-of-living package not being considered? The price of groceries alone adds an additional €3,000 a year in costs for the average household.
