On the subject of the emergency budget, I keep hearing an advert on the radio for help from the social welfare for people to pay bills, don't know much about it but are people applying for it?

This the same social welfare help that Eamon Ryan suggested people apply for to help in buying fuel to run their cars

Have budget now and address the costs of living. They can tailor the easing of price on heating fuel cost in September (many previous budget changes in October didn't kick in til the following January) when the weather is getting cold again, rather than waiting until October and doing it after the fact. Time they were proactive rather than reactive, especially on something like heating fuels where October would be AFTER the fact.

At least you are saying have the budget now, Politicians who are calling for a budget now havent said whether this should
replace the october budget or would this be a stand alone budget,

We are 17% higher than EU for cost of buying groceries. Eggs, butter, cheese, we're more than 20% higher apparently. This is Ireland ffs where you'd imagine staples like Eggs, butter, and cheese would be relatively plentiful.

Is that absolute prices or is it taking our higher wages into consideration?

Just working off my own experience, a few weeks ago I was in Poland and paid €2 for the pint. The girl working told me she gets a fiver an hour basically. So a pint costs 40% of her hourly wage.

Assuming a pint of Heino in a Cork pub is €5.80 and the server is getting €10.50 an hour, that's working out at 55% of the hourly wage.

Fuck the Big Mac index, let's judge the cost of living with pints
