Donohoe will have to 'form a judgement' on Brexit when presenting budget

Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe will have to guess whether Britain will crash out of the EU when he presents his budget on Tuesday, October 8, he has confirmed.

Mr Donohoe and his officials will next week publish the Government's Summer Economic Statement which will outline two different scenarios for the Budget – one if Britain seals a deal with the EU and one if it crashes out with a no deal.
