Leo Varadkar promises tax cuts for workers in first budgetary plans signal

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has given his first signal about budgetary plans, promising that up to 2m workers will get money back in tax cuts.

He also hoped waste or unnecessary spending would be identified and cut to increase the budget options.

The indications from the Fine Gael leader will trigger speculation about his plans for next year’s spending, as well as how much more taxpayers will take home in pay.
