Sinn Fein leader Ms McDonald asked “where is the Taoiseach?” before raising how people were struggling with hikes to their energy bills.

Mr Martin attended the G20 leaders’ summit in South Aftica from Friday until the closing session of the summit on Sunday. He was then at the EU-African Union summit in Angola on Monday.

“Ca bhfuil an Taoiseach?” Ms McDonald said at the opening of Leaders’ Questions yesterday.
