Ministers ‘furious’ at suggestion of tax cuts despite no money for 'key priorities'

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar’s suggestion of tax cuts in Tuesday week’s budget has left many of his own ministers “furious”, as they are being told there is no money for their pet projects.

Independent Alliance ministers and their teams have made it known at behind-the-scenes budget meetings that the Taoiseach’s suggestions are unacceptable.
