Irish Government's Modest Budget Unlikely to Tackle Raging Inflation

The Irish Government is expected to announce a modest budget for 2027 with a focus on making work pay through tax cuts and targeted welfare hikes. However, the €1.5 billion tax package is unlikely to result in significant income increases for workers. The budget may also include changes to inheritance tax and potential revenue-raising measures, such as excise duty increases. Despite this, the overall impact of the budget on inflation remains uncertain.
