since 2011 it's been on and off about the USC was introduced and they were taking it out and it's still there.

It should be taken.

If the economy is healthy, we need to make it easier on

our young people and on people in general.

But also, I think, as well... You know exactly now, Eimear, what to say to that.

Well, fine, but scrap the USC, but there's a massive hole in Exchequer finances.

And if you also want more speech and language therapists and you want more doctors and you want more nurses and you want us to improve...

infrastructure and you want better public transport, you want that public transport to be free, you're not going to do any of that.

And, you know, tweaking tax bands that you were talking about already, again, the cost of that.

Yeah, but I also feel that's offset, though, with our corporate taxes, like as in when we're performing healthily, you know, we need to make, as I said, they talk about a rainy day fund.

It's not a rainy day anymore.

It's a hurricane.

And it's time, usually, look at Canada there today, they're after reducing some of the taxes temporarily as well so that people can get a bit of a break, so that the economy can stabilize for a while.

If it was even for a period of one to two years, I really do feel it would just help people to put that extra bit of money away.

To be fair to him, Simon Harris is after bringing that money.

that investment scheme, which is a really good step forward, but people don't have the money to invest it with.

So what if we had a plan where for one to two years, we could reduce it slightly, increase the savings, and just give young people a bit of a break, you know?

I'd also highly encourage them to read up.

Adam McGuire has a brilliant book called Bailout Babies.

And Ray Dalio as well talks about the principles of economies and what you need to do.
