Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Pre-Budget Engagement (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Ciarán Nugent:

There is probably just an inequality where there are a big chunk of houses that have plenty of disposable income that are driving those things and then there are the others, so if we were to give a leg up to the bottom half of Irish society, the inflationary effects of that are going to much different than giving it to the top half.
