I thank the Deputy for raising a very pertinent issue. I am glad he acknowledges the benefits and importance of the initiative taken by the Government in reducing the cost of petrol, diesel and heating fuel. The Government has said there will not be a cliff edge, but we will examine the full range of supports that were contained in the cost-of-living package. The Deputy is correct in saying that the expiry date is coming at the end of February. The Government will have a decision made in advance of that. It is being examined by the Government as we speak and will be examined in the coming weeks.
