Impressive headline figures and some incentive wins offer a light disguise to a budget that has left many business owners ‘disappointed’, ‘at a loss’ and feeling ‘totally unsupported’
Karen Clince, CEO of Tiger’s Childcare one of Ireland’s biggest providers of childcare with a team of over 380 employees caring for over 2,000 children across Ireland and the UK, expressed concerns for her sector following the Budget. “Overall, I am disappointed. The headline figures look really impressive and a huge jump for early years, however, it’s just an nnualization of most of which was given last year.
Karen believes the Government needs to have “a real understanding of the operational costs of the business.” You didn’t see cafes around Croke Park charging €25 for a cappuccino when Coldplay were playing – hotels have no issue with it.” Peter Norton, Poppies Café We would like to see measures that support employers to provide affordable accommodation, in a tax efficient way, to employees.’’ Mairead Harbron, tax expert and partner, PwC
Since Covid, Sabrina’s salon, Kopper, has seen its energy costs quadruple. She now faces increased labour costs with the increase in the minimum wage and she explains, “I understand there’s a heavy burden on people with the cost of living, but I cannot afford to raise my prices anymore, it’s actually impossible.”
