A Donegal Councillor has said Ireland is now in a good position to invest in education and healthcare after the Budget announcement earlier this week.
Cllr Ciaran Brogan says the once-off payments, such as energy credits and children’s allowance will also have a positive impact for many people across the country.
Speaking on the nine til noon show, he says the Budget shows a commitment from the Government to invest in the people of Ireland.
Meanwhile, Solicitor Brid Curran says the Budget is a short-sighted one and the VAT reduction rate should have been prioritised.
