Budget 2025 is to be brought forward one week to Tuesday 1 October, Minister for Finance Jack Chambers has said.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland , Mr Chambers said it was the"natural date" to hold the Budget due to ministerial commitments in Europe the following week.
"We've to submit our fiscal and budgetary submission to the European Commission on 15 October, and the week prior to that both myself and Minister Donohoe will be attending Ecofin and the Eurogroup meeting, so 1 October is the natural date to have Budget 2025," he said. However, Mr Chambers dismissed speculation that holding the Budget earlier was clearing the path for an early general election.
