Text

I thank the Minister for her answer. We are now more than three weeks in, and you have not yet met the hauliers. In the South, your party is calling for a motion of no confidence in the Government for not doing enough to address the fuel crisis, despite the Irish Government's announcing a further package of support worth over £500 million — that is half a billion, Minister. Will you table a motion of no confidence in your Executive here, who have not put forward any plan at all to tackle the spiralling energy and fuel cost crisis?
