McGrath admits Government measures won't meet full needs of struggling families

The Government has acknowledged it can't meet everyone's needs but some measures, such as a proposed energy credit, will make a difference.
The Government's package to address the spiralling cost of living won't meet the full needs of struggling families, the minister for public expenditure has admitted.
A doubling of the proposed energy credit to €227 is set to be a key measure in the cost-of-living package, due to be announced on Thursday, along with a number of targeted supports.
