With one in five families cutting back on food and nearly half skipping meals to feed kids, Nash accused the government of ignoring everyday struggles — especially as food prices climb and energy bills loom. He cited missed opportunities: no income tax indexation, no energy credits, and slashed one-off payments. Tánaiste Simon Harris defended the government, pointing to VAT cuts on essentials and direct aid, framing the hospitality tax relief as a wider economic boost.
