Summary

McDonald pressed again for faster legislation and implementation before Christmas, while the Taoiseach said it could not be done before Christmas. The exchange ended with repeated insistence on urgency and the Taoiseach’s final refusal.

I wish to press the issue, Taoiseach. The intervention of €100 relief is modest but we welcome it. The Taoiseach cannot ask that this takes effect in February or March. Where is the sense of urgency in this?

I ask that the necessary legislation goes through the House now, before Christmas. People are struggling out there. The Taoiseach knows this.

We cannot have another debate on it.
