I am lucky enough to be here a long time. I have seen stuff before, but this one can walk under a snake's belly with a bowler hat on. It is so embarrassing what the Government is doing. I had a gentleman on to me last week who is on a waiting list for meals on wheels. The Government is on about a cost-of-living crisis, and it brings in this extortionate disgusting charge on blister packs for people. It was brought in originally in 1996 as a health and safety issue. Now, everything is after getting fixed. I was in Market Green in Midleton last Saturday and Santy was there, believe it or not. Santy pulled me aside and asked me what the bloody hell is happening with the blister packs. This is a fact. We had a good conversation. He told me that he and his wife, Mrs. Claus - they are pushing on now - are disgusted at what is happening. On top of that, I can guarantee that the Minister is definitely on the naughty list this year anyway when it comes to them.

There are no words for what the Government is doing to people. It is one of the most dangerous things. I have spoken on the radio about this. People have a system because, as I said at the start, this was brought in as a health and safety issue.

The Minister is playing a charge here. Please do not talk me down. I am giving her respect, and I have always been respectful to her.

She needs to withdraw this.

This temporary measure. She has spoken about a pause, but a pause on what? A pause on death? That is what is going to happen. The Minister had better reverse this because it is an utter disgrace.
