Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

There, there seemed to be one thing.

The, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Jack Chambers, was writing in the Irish Independent today, and he was talking about, you know, "I can't write a blank check.

We have to negotiate our ways forward." And the government also needs reform.

And I was just interested in that word.

As I'm sure this will as well, because we're going to talk about the various strands of rising energy costs and what the government can do about it.

But this was discussed, and the proposal from Sinn Féin, I think, on carbon tax was discussed at Leaders' Questions today, taken by Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Jack Chambers.

And here is Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou MacDonald and her interaction with Jack Chambers.

Jesus, that's woeful spoofing.

The Minister for Finance, Simon Harris, has repeatedly said they want people who work to keep more of their pay and that there will be a meaningful personal income tax package.

On Ortiz This Week programme yesterday, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Jack Chambers, reiterated the government's commitment to income tax changes in next month's budget.

And we have to prioritise across government in critical areas.

So, for example, on the cost of living, we want to help support and reward work across the economy.
