The Good news? According to the recent economic data released by the ESRI no budgetary adjustment is needed to reach the Troika target. The ESRI figures include more up to date data on the payment of the national debt and; as a result the budgetary outlook greatly improves.

Some of the measures for families include:

  • Reducing Local Property Tax for those in negative equity

  • Extend ECCE Scheme to two years

Educational measures include:

  • Increasing the number of primary school teachers by 10%

    We are in a position to have a “Do Nothing” Budget.? Why are you not congratulating the government for having done such a wonderful job getting us to this point?.
