Today with David McCullagh · How will Ireland’s State Saving Scheme work? Eoin McGee explains · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

You won't have enough for the pint, but you'll be about €13.50.

Now, if you actually get the average, if you get the best, it's over €50.

If you get the average, it's about €28.

It's actually €29 is what it works out to be.

So you can buy a pint, two pints, and leave a tip if you just do it.

And this is the same money being used in a different way and getting a very different result.

And I really think that this is where, from a government perspective...

I really think, from a financial planning nerd perspective, I think this is the plastic bag levy, smoking ban moment for financial services.

And I really, I did sit back at the start of this, Dave, when it started coming out and said, am I going to put my name to this?

Am I going to really go out and try and...

Get people excited about this and encourage them to do it, because if it falls flat on its face, where does that leave me?

But I actually think the right thing to do here is I think this is a good thing for everybody.

And I do think that I do need to get behind this.

But also, I do see where it could go wrong and where it might go wrong is that communication piece.

I really think if they don't get the communication right, that's where it's going to fall flat on its face.

There'll be a cap.

So it's interesting the way it might work.

So one of the things that people are kind of,

don't like about investing right now is we have 38% tax and deemed disposal on profits on some funds and then you've got exit tax or sorry capital gains tax 33% on other ones right but that deemed disposal thing is a big problem where basically what happens is is after 8 years if you haven't taken your money out you get taxed as if you did take your money out and it just you're being taxed on an unrealised gain

Interesting enough, I did question Minister Harris on this and I asked him about it and I said, what do you think?
