Four-year plan set for tomorrow despite instability

THE Government will push ahead with the publication of the four-year deficit reduction plan tomorrow despite the fresh political instability triggered by the Greens.

Proposals to massively reduce the public sector workforce, cut social welfare, and lower the minimum wage are all expected to feature.

The plan will lay out how €15 billion of spending cuts and tax hikes will be imposed in the next four years, starting with a €6bn hairshirt budget on December 7.
