Irish Examiner View: A digital game changer

Finance Minister  Paschal Donohoe arriving at Government Buildings for their joint press conference for Budget 2021.

IN his budget speech on Tuesday, Paschal Donohoe, the finance minister, pledged to build a stronger Ireland from the "ashes of the pandemic". One way to do that is to recognise the potential of the digital economy and look at ways to assist it.

He appears to have done just that, as among the provisions of Budget 2021 is the development of a tax credit for the digital gaming sector, with a view to supporting qualifying activity from January 2022 onwards.
