Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

When a Government delivers a budget, it is important that there is a consistency and certainty of approach throughout the year. The Government unveiled a significant package of measures to assist with the cost-of-living crisis in respect of workers, families, children, older people and businesses. We continue to explore how we can help with various interventions but we have no current plans in this specific regard. I point out, however, that this Government has taken several measures to put money back into people's pockets, to reduce the cost of living and to help people with the costs of going about their lives.
