Triple Lock, Aughinish Alumina, fuel prices and abortion bill – unfinished business as Dáil breaks for summer

The article lists several pending legislative and economic issues that remain unresolved as the Irish parliament (Dáil) prepares for its summer recess. These include the Triple Lock policy, which ties state pensions to inflation, wage growth, and price increases; the Aughinish Alumina project, a major industrial development; rising fuel prices impacting households; and the abortion bill, which has been a contentious political issue. The piece frames these topics as 'unfinished business,' suggesting they require further attention before the end of the parliamentary session.
