I know that it is upsetting for some Senators that the Government is doing a good job and that income levels have risen. I urge Senators to look at the CSO survey of income and living conditions which contains the facts. It does not contain fake news but facts. It does not contain the spin from the fifth floor of Leinster House 2000 but real facts.
