Independent TD Michael Healy-Rae has criticised the Green Party for its “nonsensical, unworkable suggestions” to help people who are struggling with the rising cost of living.

Green party Senator Róisín Garvey has appealed to members of the public to start car-sharing — an idea previously put forward by the leader of the party Eamon Ryan.
