BUDGET 2016: Package of ‘sensible, affordable steps’
Cuts to the deeply unpopular universal social charge (USC); more nurses, teachers, and gardaí; more affordable and quality childcare; and an end to the unfair tax treatment of the self-employed were among the reforms announced.
“The priority of this budget is to keep the recovery going, while providing relief and better services for the Irish people,” Mr Noonan said.
