That's why we want to support workers and reward work in how we design the tax package.
And I think we will make and prioritise that from a tax perspective.

I want to ensure that we build resilience in our economy to ensure that we don't enter into a big contraction where we don't have the money to pay for the day-to-day services that people require.
And that's why we continue to make the case for two long-term funds, the fiscal buffers that we have in Ireland.
