The Government is taking the "right approach" to the cost-of-living crisis by giving cash payments to families and businesses, Green Party leader Eamon Ryan has insisted.

Mr Ryan hit out at Sinn Féin's energy proposals saying it would be "great" if "easy and simplistic solutions" could be found, but "that is not the real world".
