Mattie McGrath: ...because people want oversight. We have been talking about this windfall tax for long enough. I am reminded of what a windfall meant at this time of year when I was young. I would always pick apples after the storms had brought them down. I am sure many of them came down today. The Government does not seem to know, or want to know, what a windfall tax is.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: The Circular Economy: Discussion (4 Oct 2023)

David Stanton: ...I ask the Minister of State to tell us a bit more about it. As noted by Deputy Shanahan and others, when one goes into a supermarket, it is very hard to buy anything that is not wrapped in plastic.
