“Everybody will be thousands of euro better off and at a time when prices are really high, I think that's madness.'
With just six days to go before Budget 2025 , the Finance Minister looks set to announce a ‘ridiculous’ giveaway package, Shane Coleman has predicted.
That is a likely to include around €1.5bn in tax measures, with ‘significant’ tax cuts and €1.5bn in cost-of-living measures.There is also expected to be more than €1bn for childcare and significant spending on infrastructure.this morning, Shane Coleman said he would prefer to see the government learn from the mistakes of the past and announce a “sensible” package – even if he knows that is not going to happen.
“I want them to be sensible and to remember what happened 15 years ago – but that's gone, that's out the window. That bird has flown and that ship has sailed.”Fellow presenter Ciara Kelly said she would like to see “a bit more money in my own pocket”.“I think that's logical, I think that's fair and whilst I obviously want to see targeted things and people supported, I'd like a bit more money in my own pocket.
“Everyone is like, ‘Oh no, we need more pensions and that’ and I have no problem with that but I know that, as someone who still has four kids all still at home and all still in education, I wouldn't mind a bit of a tax break.”
