Fergus Finlay: My prediction? We’ll struggle to recall this thinly spread budget

If I ask you a week from now to outline the four main features of the budget, you’ll struggle to remember two of them, writes Fergus Finlay

By the time they finish their speeches, Paschal Donohoe and Michael McGrath will have disposed of billions of the country’s money.

So, I’m going to make a couple of predictions about Tuesday's budget. You won’t read these anywhere else, and I’ve done my homework to make sure they’re deadly accurate.

You know I tend not to make predictions too often. Usually only once a year, in the first week of January. I spend the entirety of Christmas poring over entrails (not a lot of fun, that) in order so that you can start the year by knowing what’s going to happen, month by month.
