The Taoiseach's warning of a 'Cliff Edge' if cost of living supports are allowed to expire next month.
With inflation showing no signs of easing - Leo Varadkar appears to be on a collision course with The Greens over 'cost of living' supports.
In a pre-Christmas briefing to senior journalists - he's promised that government will make a final decision by the end of the month:
"So what we will do in January is sit down with the government and work out which of those measures will continue, which won't. And where not to continue with a certain measure, "Are there alternative more targeted measures that we can put in place?" I think we need to be able to give people certainty and visibility around - not at the last minute".
