"'People are scared because they know they simply cannot afford another winter like the last one' - McDonald"
"'We need to be upfront with people here, and so the bottom line for us is that we have targeted resources at those most in need' - Taoiseach"
""Please. Sorry, in terms of where it was, it's coming down. Cop on.""
Mary Lou McDonald demanded restoration of energy credits as temperatures fall and warned that people are scared because they cannot afford another winter like the last one. She framed the demand around household financial vulnerability ahead of winter. Taoiseach Micheál Martin responded in a testy Dáil exchange, asserting that inflation is coming down and urging McDonald to 'cop on.' Martin said the government has targeted resources at those most in need and defended current measures to address energy costs and protect vulnerable households. He emphasized being upfront with people about support priorities.
