Meanwhile, via RTÉ News:

The Budget had been expected to be a package worth €2.8bn, but it is understood that the increase in carbon tax and changes to other taxes, such as the dividend withholding tax, could push it closer to €3bn.

Minister Donohoe concluded his discussions last night with a Fianna Fáil delegation, following talks with the Independent Alliance on its key concerns.

It is understood that some of both parties’ key budgetary demands were met.

An expansion in the medical card scheme for the over 70s and other health and social welfare spending increases are expected.

    There’s absolutely “no surprises” because the politicians leaked everything beforehand. Ridiculous.
    It should be noted that leaving the income tax bands unchanged every year is, in effect, an income tax increase. We’re getting income tax increases again this year.

      Income tax, which was introduced to cover the costs of…
      the Napoleonic wars.
      Yet we are still paying, while irony of ironies, a lot of paddies were pro buonapartists at the time.
