Mary Lou McDonald criticized the government for its inaction on the soaring cost of living. She emphasized the struggles of everyday people against rising prices, stating that essentials like milk cost more than petrol. The Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, defended the government's position by citing global economic challenges and argued that the opposition lacks limits on their demands. McDonald has persistently called for a support package in the Budget amidst increasing economic pressures on families, denying claims of governmental oblivion to public hardships.
"You refuse to hear. You have the resources to intervene and make a difference... Prices are through the roof. A litre of milk now costs more than a litre of petrol."
"There are limits to what any Government can do, and you are the Opposition without any limits."
"Ms McDonald has repeatedly demanded a continued cost of living package in the Budget, as happened it recent years - which the Government is ruling out on grounds of economic prudence."
