Ireland's Minister for Finance, Jack Chambers, presented the national budget for 2025, focusing on progressivity and fairness. With an upcoming election, the government proposed tax cuts, increased minimum wage, and raised inheritance tax thresholds. Economists warned against excessive stimulus due to inflation risks. The budget anticipates a surplus of 7.5% of national income in 2024, bolstered by a windfall tax from Apple. Ministers emphasized the need for investment in infrastructure and healthcare while balancing public expectations with fiscal restraint.
