Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

Ba mhaith liom an Dáil a chur ar athló chun déileáil leis an gné rí-thábhachtach seo ar gá plé práinneach a déanamh ar sa Dáil, is é sin, the urgent need for the Government to reverse its plans to cut the fuel allowance and household benefits package especially considering that the cuts coincide with sharp electricity and gas price hikes and considering the impact of these cuts, in particular, on older people and those with disabilities, including a blind couple in their 50s in my constituency who are especially vulnerable to the cold and who have been hit by many other price hikes in recent times including a substantial price hike in the pet insurance for their guide dogs and many others out there with comparable needs who will be targeted by these cuts.
