Choosing Ireland’s future - Budget 2027, an important milestone (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the last few weeks we have entered a familiar and intense period in the Irish political landscape. With the Budget now just over a week away, it is entirely natural that the conversation has shifted to what will be announced in terms of new measures on spending and taxation. There is also, of course, a strong focus - as there is in Government - on what will be done when it comes to the cost of living. People want to know the tax they will pay, the funding coming to their local schools and hos

Hi there,Over the last two days we have welcomed European Finance Ministers, some of their counterparts from outside the EU, Central Bank Governors, and international leaders in finance to Ireland for the largest informal meeting of ministers in the history of Ireland’s EU Presidency.

The conflict in the Middle East is precisely such an event. Global commodity markets are disrupted by the shock to the supply of oil and other commodities.
Why there is momentum behind our housing plan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, I wrote about the impact that starter home schemes such as Help to Buy are having for first-time buyers. Almost 49,000 claims have now been approved under that scheme since 2020 and - unlike some in the opposition - we are committed to making the scheme available to thousands more people in the coming years. Those supports matter. But as I also pointed out last week the main solution to our housing challenge is supply. That means building more homes more quickly in the areas where peo
