THREE MONTHS AGO, Paschal Donohoe and Micheal McGrath delivered the new coalition’s first Budget, the largest in the history of the State.
The Budget aimed to help the economy recover from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, with headline announcements including a €4 billion allocation for health, supports for businesses, and further increases in carbon tax.
Measures like that carbon tax increase and a hike in the price of cigarettes took effect from 14 October, but many more won’t be implemented until tomorrow.
