Finance Minister: Pandemic supports won't fall off 'a cliff-edge'

No indication if higher taxes will be needed to boost  economy post-Covid, but it is part of a 'wider discussion'

Paschal Donohoe says the question of higher taxes "is one for years to come".

The finance minister says decisions must be made once the pandemic has lifted about "how big a government" we have but the current payments for those affected by Covid-19 will not drop off a "cliff-edge".
