Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent)

I seek leave to move a motion for the Adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national importance and concern, namely, the huge price increases in meat, vegetables, fruit, gas and electricity and the 15% increase in rents for Dublin City Council tenants, particularly those living on the north side of Dublin and pensioners. I call on the Government to do something as a matter of priority to assist our elderly, our disabled and working people in general as they must put up with these huge price increases which are affecting everyone's quality of life.
