Tax cut would remove USC on first €45,000 of income for all earners, costing €1.8bn
Launching its slate of candidates in Dublin on Monday, the party’s leader Mary Lou McDonald said the tax cut, which would remove the USC on the first €45,000 of income for all earners, would cost €1.8 billion.
She said that funding of the USC cut would be outlined in greater detail in its manifesto, but that the party was planning tax hikes on individual incomes over €140,000 as part of its general election platform.
Ms McDonald said that if she was returned as Taoiseach she would meet Donald Trump as part of the annual St Patrick’s Day mission to the United States, arguing it was important economically and for the peace process. She said she couldn’t answer how many Sinn Féin candidates in the general election had taken libel actions against publications or issued legal letters threatening proceedings.
