Speaking on Virgin Media's Tonight Show this evening, Minister for Justice and Higher Education Simon Harris said it 'certainly isn't annoying' that these discussions are happening in public.

AN INTERNAL ROW over tax breaks in Budget 2024 continued within the government coalition today after Green Party leader and Minister for Climate Action Eamon Ryan said these discussions should be “behind closed doors”.

“We know that the budget will contain a package around welfare supports including the pension and we know that the budget will contain a package for public spending. They are core components of the budget,” Harris added. Ryan said that promising the public what will be included in Budget 2024 will not “serve the Irish people”.

Finnna Fáil Senator Lisa Chambers on Tuesday slammed the junior ministers for their move, calling the ideas in their article “populist” and that an extra €1,000 in everyone’s pocket sounds “lovely”.
