The test of this Budget is whether Ireland uses temporary abundance to build a health service capable of surviving its disappearance, writes Terence Cosgrave There is a peculiar reassurance in an Dáil Eireann Budget. The figures arrive in their appointed order, the ministers explain their generosity, and the future is invited to behave itself. Outside this ceremony, however, stand two realities which cannot be negotiated away: Ireland’s extraordinary dependence on multinational tax receipts, and
