Ken O'Flynn (Cork North-Central, Independent Ireland Party)

People are tired of being told they are better off than they were. The truth is they are not. I do not know when was the last time the Taoiseach walked into Lidl, Aldi, Dunnes or the local supermarket to do his shopping, looked into his basket, paid his bill and asked himself, "In the name of God, what did I buy?" That is the reality of people's lives today. I do not know when the Taoiseach last did that. Perhaps his housekeeper does that for him; I do not know.
