Response to the Cost-of-living Crisis
That this Assembly notes the real and immediate pressures facing workers and businesses as a result of the United States’ illegal war with Iran; further notes that the British Government’s response has been insufficient; acknowledges that, while most taxation and fiscal powers lie with the British Government, the Northern Ireland Executive’s response has been non-existent; and calls on the Northern Ireland Executive, in conjunction with the British Government, to outline the actions it will take to alleviate pressures facing workers and businesses, including measures such as the extension of rural fuel duty relief, support for those working in domiciliary care, reduced fares for public transport and targeted support for industries that have been most affected.
