With Budget 2027 now less than a week away, the political parties are already preparing how they will frame what’s announced — and what it will mean for households across the country.
The Government is presenting the Budget as one focused on protecting Ireland’s finances amid global uncertainty, while also trying to ease some of the pressures facing working people.
Opposition parties, meanwhile, are expected to argue that the measures being signalled so far don’t go far enough for households dealing with rising costs, housing pressures and financial uncertainty.
So, with plenty at stake ahead of Budget Day next Tuesday, we were joined on The Agenda this morning by political correspondent Sean Defoe to look at what we can expect when the Minister for Finance gets to his feet.
