Tanaiste Leo Varadkar has indicated the Government will move to help with the cost of living crisis by scrapping some hospital charges for adults, cut the cost of childcare and give public sector workers a pay rise.
The Fine Gael leader was slammed by Sinn Fein TD Matt Carthy who said the State’s response so far did not go far enough.
He said the cost of diesel at the petrol pumps were back at prices, even higher, before the Government stepped in to cut excise duty on fuel in March.
