Tánaiste Simon Harris and Sinn Féin's Pearse Doherty clashed over cost-of-living supports in a heated Dáil debate. Doherty criticized the government's response to energy bills, prompting Harris to point out Doherty's error about SuperValu's ownership by the Musgrave Group, not a US multinational.
There were tense moments in the Dáil before the summer break as Tánaiste Simon Harris and Sinn Féin finance spokesperson Pearse Doherty clashed over cost-of-living supports. Mr Doherty highlighted the significant number of households struggling with utility bills, urging the government to provide more assistance. In response, Mr Harris mentioned existing government supports and criticized Mr Doherty for a recent mistake regarding the ownership of SuperValu.
Despite the government's perspective, the exchange was criticized by many as unproductive political theater. Social Democrats TD Jennifer Whitmore expressed disappointment in the behavior during the debate, emphasizing the real concerns of the public about their basic needs.
