Most of us would probably anticipate a scenario where it will be an annual routine for the Government to require itself to bring a resolution to the floor of the Dáil. There are some guardrails, if I can describe them as such, here in the legislation, which cites the figures of 0.8% and 0.4%. There is also a function here for the Irish Fiscal...

This was a very serious...

Gerald Nash: Nobody is arguing that we did not require additional supports for those who are less well-off and those on modest incomes in terms of battling through the cost-of-living crisis. It is how we have presented it in the House. In recent years the budget has been presented in a very opaque way. Many budgetary items described in recent years as "once-off" have, in fact, persisted.
