Louise O'Reilly: Workers and families are under intense pressure as a result of the spiralling cost of petrol, diesel and home heating oil, as are businesses, the economy and society as a whole. We all know the causes of these price spikes, which are fuelled by the brutal invasion of Ukraine. The Government can and must act to reduce prices for fuel and energy. We are experiencing a very fragile recovery...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of Brexit on Trade in Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I was not suggesting there was a lack of support. I was asking for Ms Hearty's view on whether the economic strategy that possibly should be published would have a positive impact if it were implemented with regard to maximising the benefits from the protocol. If it is Ms Hearty's view that the benefits are as maximised as they can be, that is fair enough, but I am not disputing in any way...
