SINN Féin TD Maurice Quinlivan has deemed Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s response to soaring fuel prices as “falling far short of what is needed”.
The Limerick politician also took the view that the Government has failed to deliver meaningful relief for struggling households.
“For the past month, families and workers have been hammered by spiralling fuel costs.
People are struggling to heat their homes and fill their cars, while this government stood back,” Deputy Quinlivan claimed.

“It has taken sustained pressure from Sinn Féin and public anger to force action.
But what has been brought forward does not go far enough. Motorists needed the maximum reduction at the pumps but chose not to do it,” the Sinn Féin TD added.
