and pushing these ideas.

And he said, you know, níl an fhí brú, he's not under any pressure, and he doesn't feel like he's under any pressure, but it just really points to this, again, lack of coherence, as particularly as we're coming towards now another summer where

further kites will be flown.

And particularly things that are quite costly.

You know, I haven't done the maths for all of these measures.

But, you know, on Tuesday on his way into Cabinet, Simon Harris was saying that, look, we can't just be doing...

a budget every week, like the opposition are calling for.

You have Labour and Sinn Féin saying, you know, we need immediate and urgent action for families that are now struggling.

On Tuesday, Simon Harris was also saying that as we come into the winter, any energy crisis is only going to sharpen as we come into the winter months.

And he said there's a need to kind of keep our powder dry and refused to really rule out any one off measures like we've seen previously.

The opposition, meanwhile, I asked the finance spokesperson for Labour, Jed Nash, because he's really advocating for this in the sense of a mini-budget, which has already been ruled out.

And Deputy Nash really said, look, now is the time that the public has seen

in the aftermath of the fuel crisis and the fuel protests, seen the kind of those representative groups, the lobby groups doing the business for the agricultural sector.

In the last budget, you know, in the same sense he said, we've seen the lobbyists do the business for the hospitality sector and people really now need to see the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste and the rest of government kind of do the business for the people.

And people are wondering, you know, at what point is enough and what level is enough?

And that's the question.

And there's a real sense of deja vu about it as well.

In the weeks even before the fuel crisis, the government was saying they're ruling nothing out.

They're keeping all their options open.

Everything's under review.
