Episode Details

The government is facing a crucial test in the Dáil today, as the Dáil is set to vote on a confidence motion in the Government over its ongoing handling of the fuel crisis. Sinn Féin is bringing forward a motion of no confidence following days of fuel protests and growing anger over the cost of living. While ministers point to a €505 million support package as proof they’re responding, opposition parties argue it’s too little, too late. Alan Morrissey spoke about this with Shannon Sinn Féin TD Donna McGettigan. He began by asking her what core message her party wants to send to the government and the public with the motion. He was also joined on the line by Tulla-based Fianna Fáil Minister of State, Timmy Dooley. Image © Oireachtas.ie
