The Dáil returns from the summer recess on Wednesday morning, with the cost of living crisis set to be top of the billing for the Opposition as they tackle the Government face-to-face for the first time in months.
Spiralling energy bills, petrol pump hikes and record inflation has heaped the pressure onto Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe to deliver a Budget which helps the public stop having to choose between feeding themselves or keeping heat in their homes.
Budget 2023 will be delivered by Minister Donohoe and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Michael McGrath at the end of September.
