Budget 2014: New date, same ole story

I know it’s a bit early to start talking about the budget. But, given that budget 2014 will be on October 15, I asked the Taoiseach whether the Oireachtas would be given time to interrogate and suggest improvements on the budget, or whether the entire budgetary roadshow would be happening in the same condensed time-frame as usual. It seems from the Taoiseach’s answer that the latter is the case.
