And that's for the overall package we are talking about, all of the fuel uh costs.
Of course there is a cost to all of these measures, but it's about what can the government do to support families and workers in the here and now and all of those measures, including by the way, implementing what the government said they would, the EU hundred euro month childcare, which the government seemed to have forgotten about, all of those measures, in my view, would

Uh we've published plans, we've published proposals.
Uh I published one on health.
What we have called for, because I agree with getting our ducks in our own planning, we moved a motion in the doll earlier this year, as you know, and we called for two things a green paper and Irish unity, which can't be done by any political party.
That has to be done by the civil service, by government departments.
departments.
