Tax revenues off target by €115m on eve of troika visit

TAX revenues are off target by €115 million, according to the latest Exchequer figures.

The latest revenue figures have been published on the eve of this week’s visit to Dublin by the IMF/EU/ ECB bailout troika.

Finance Minister Michael Noonan moved to play- down the figures, insisting it would be righted by year’s end. However, he still warned another harsh budget was on the way.
