The Social Protection Minister, Heather Humphreys, says Deputy Pearse Doherty’s Dáil motion on a Spring bonus and cost-of-living supports was nothing more than a political stunt.

However, Deputy Doherty told the Dail that every analysis published in recent weeks and months shows that the situation now is more bleak than it has ever been, and those on lower incomes are disproportionately affected………….
