Dail to hear calls for introduction of mini budget

The Dail will later hear calls for the introduction of a mini budget to address the rising cost of living.

The Rural Independent Group, which’s bringing the motion, says the issue’s now a national emergency that requires comprehensive action.

Among the measures being demanded are a 20 euro increase to social welfare payments, a 50 percent reduction in fuel taxes and a 75 million euro package to help struggling farmers.

Member of the group, Danny Healy-Rae, says people in rural Ireland are being hit harder than those in urban areas:
