Watch: Budget 2024 helps those who need it most, says McGrath

Responding to critics who say Budget 2024 has not gone far enough to help those struggling with the cost-of-living crisis, Finance Minister Michael McGrath and Public Expenditure Minister Paschal Donohoe said the measures are targeted to help those who have the lowest income.

Budget 2024 will prove to be a fair and progressive budget, the Finance Minister has said.

Speaking to the Irish Examiner following today's budget announcement, Michael McGrath said that the people who need the most help are getting the most help through both the core measures and the one-off cost-of-living package.
