Budget 2022: something for everyone but is it enough?

The Budget Briefing

After much speculation, leaks and spinning, the budget is finally out and on this episode of the Budget Briefing, Sorcha Corcoran is joined by economist Jim Power, Kevin McLoughlin, Partner & Head of Tax, EY Ireland and Neil Gibson, Chief Economist, EY Ireland to help sift through the detail and find out what money has gone where and how businesses and the economy will be affected by the government’s plans. “What I took away from this budget,” Neil Gibson explains on the show. “Was it was beginning to change the narrative to the budget is about Ireland Inc or the world around us, not just can I look in the ready reckoner and see whether I've €2, €4, €6, €10 more or less? Now we'll never fully come away from that of course, but I think that was an interesting tonal message. It felt more like a state of the nation type address almost than a budget with the sort of theatre and pantomime you normally expect with one of those. So I thought that was probably the most interesting thing.” Listen and follow The Budget Briefing on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts from.
