ICTU has warned Govt. not to return to the ‘low tax and low spend model’.

The Tanaiste has indicated income tax will be cut in the upcoming budget.

The Irish Congress of Trade Unions says the Coalition shouldn’t go back to the old ‘low tax and low spend model’ over the next four years.

It feels Budget 2022 should focus on childcare, education, health and housing.

Co-author of the ICTU report, Dr Tom McDonnell, believes people need to pay more taxes because of our aging population.


But Leo Varadkar says people can't sustain the current levels of inflation so tax cuts are warranted
