Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe has delivered his Budget 2020 speech, with an overall package of €2.9 billion. Announcing measures worth €1.2 billion to tackle no-deal Brexit, Minister Donohoe said Budget 2020 is without precedent and “a budget that has been developed in the shadow of Brexit”. Will the measures announced today be enough to soften the landing?In today’s podcast, Ciaran is joined first by Irish Times political reporter Jennifer Bray to go through the main points of the budget. Later, Liam Diamond, Tax Partner at PwC Ireland, and Cliff Taylor and Fiona Reddan of the Irish Times, get into the weeds on items including the no-deal Brexit package, the much vaunted €6 carbon tax hike and measures related to housing and health.
