Stimulus package set to be unveiled

The Government will announce a €2bn stimulus package tomorrow but the timeframe for the delivery of the projects involved will be “vague”, a Coalition source has said.

This is because some of the funding for the package will come from the sale of State assets, and no such sales will take place before next year.

Still, the Government is expected to hail the package as a significant step in stimulating economic growth and tackling unemployment.
