Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

In fact, the Government has demonstrated before that when it is those at the top, the Government is in like a flash but when it is ordinary people who need a bailout package, its message is tough luck. Tá sé doghlactha go vótálfaidh an Rialtas in aghaidh buiséad éigeandála anocht. A Aire, teastaíonn cúnamh ó dhaoine anois. Beidh sé tubaisteach dóibh iarraidh orthu fanacht ceithre mhí.

Tonight’s vote then is a test for every Deputy in this House who sees their constituents suffering. One can either vote for them or vote against them; it is actually as plain and simple as that. This is a state of emergency for households. They need an emergency budget now.
