Taoiseach promises tax cuts for middle-income families

Planned cuts to income tax will be directed towards hard-pressed middle income families in next year’s Budget, the Taoiseach has revealed.

Enda Kenny said that, while no solid commitment can be made to the extent of tax reductions, giving relief to the so-called coping class that has been squeezed by the last seven austerity Budgets will be a priority.
