We want to introduce dynamic pricing to petrol, diesel, agricultural diesel, and home heating oil. How this will work will be that when petrol and diesel reach €1.90 on international prices, cent per cent, the price of carbon tax will come…

The fuel crisis is the biggest issue that has been encapsulating this country in the last six months.

People power has forced the Government to change its approach as 'they could not take any more' and took to the streets.

A rudimentary understanding of the Irish language would be nice, he added.

He called for an additional €2.5bn to be spent on defence.

He said a recruitment embargo for administrative staff in the health service would save €250m a year.

Indeed, I would say the Government is incinerating taxpayers' money at a rate in those terms.

There's a complete lack of accountability in that sector. There's an enormous amount of waste.

In terms of capital infrastructure spends last year there was about €1.6bn of overspend.

The drug must be reimbursed now for sufferers in desperate need.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
