Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (25 Apr 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: Do you not think, a Chathaoirligh, that it is unfair for the Taoiseach to ignore this question and not give an answer, given the gravity of the question and the public interest in it and given the clear link between corruption in the history of the State and the distortion of society and unfairness?

Ireland...

Peadar Tóibín: The Taoiseach can argue with the OECD about the facts on whether incomes are falling. Incomes are falling, and that is what it is saying. The question to be asked is why the Government has allowed the highest electricity prices in Europe to exist in this State. Why is it that the Government has allowed some of the highest gas prices in the whole European Union to exist in this State? Why...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: The OECD stated earlier today that Irish households experienced a massive drop in living standards last year. Under the Government, people have got poorer in the past 12 months.
