Níl deireadh leis an ngéarchéim costas maireachtála díreach mar go bhfuil na ceannlínte ag trácht ar rud éicint eile. Tá an ghéarchéim seo le sonrú i ngach baile, sráidbhaile agus cathair.

Caithfidh an Rialtas teaghlaigh a chosaint agus ní a bheith ag cur i gcéill nach ann don fhadhb ní ba mhó”.

Tá Rialtas againn atá ag caint faoi fhuíollach buiséid tráth go bhfuil daoine i scuainí ag banc bia agus ag streachailt chun cógaisí a cheannach. Ní féidir sochaí a mheas de réir a OTI ach de réir mar a chaitear leo siúd is mó atá ag streachailt.

Tá rogha á dhéanamh ag daoine gach lá idir bia agus teas. Tá teaghlaigh ag titim siar lena n-íocaíochtaí cíosa nó morgáiste. Tá pá na n-oibrithe imithe ar chostas bia agus fuinnimh. Tá chuile phingin á gcomhaireamh ag pinsinéirí agus cúramóirí. Ní buanseasmhacht atá anseo ach marthanas.

"Tá sé dochreidte go bhféadfadh an Rialtas Buiséad a chur le chéile gan aon tacaíochtaí costas maireachtála ann dóibh siúd atá ag streachailt ó lá go lá. Cuireann sé in iúl chomh scartha amach is atá an Rialtas ó shaol na ngnáthdhaoine.

The cost-of-living crisis is not over just because the headlines have moved on. It is biting hard in every town, village, and city. The Government’s response must be to protect households, not to pretend that the problem has gone away."

We have a Government that talks about budget surpluses while people queue at food banks and struggle to afford medication. A society cannot be measured by its GDP, but by how it treats those who are struggling the most.

“That’s the next President of Ireland”.

Let's show Ireland that politics can still be about home, can be about decency, and can be about courage.

Tá moladh tuillte ag aon duine a dhéanann iarracht an tír seo a fheabhsú trí sheirbhís phoiblí a thabhairt.

I have struggled with Irish, and I want to show people that it is worth it to learn Irish. It is difficult, but it is worth it.
