These excise hikes must be halted or things will become unaffordable for many dependent on vehicles for work and life.

They're benefiting while the customer takes the hit. This is wrong and it’s unfair.

Ireland is an excessively expensive country for energy, this remains the key and so far unresolved issue which led to April's protests.

Micheál Martin is probably the least republican leader Fianna Fáil has ever seen.

I don't think that figure is far off.

The reason why we have an extension, and it's only an extension for a month, is because the Government is fearful that during the summer they will see a similar people power exercise.

The key issue remains. Ireland is an excessively expensive country for energy. It is bad for families, it is bad for business, and it is bad for farmers.

Given the current price trajectory for fuel, any efforts to jack up excise on petrol and diesel by 27c and 32c in September will be opposed by Aontú.

The fact that we have 20 Fianna Fáil Tds stating categorically that there was no engagement in relation to this with them is quite stark.

It seems they are an unwanted added extra to Micheál Martin political objectives in this country.

I believe there is no public appetite to remove the three-day wait.

The Government do not want to deal with this issue and pushed them on the long finger.

Your silence is damaging the people's confidence in your ability to manage immigration on an all Ireland basis.

The proposed process will not affect the Common Travel Area as Irish and British citizens will still be able to move with passports and drivers' licences.

We have a swinging backdoor open between the two countries, which means we can't manage migration.

Ireland has an internationally recognised competency in terms of peace.
