EU agrees nearly €200 billion budget for 2027 following talks chaired by Ireland

The European Union has agreed its budget for 2027.

The negotiations were finalised in the early hours of this morning, and led to a deal worth just under €200 billion.

The talks were chaired by Ireland as part of its presidency of the EU Council.

The Tánaiste is calling the agreement, which is the last of the EU’s current seven-year spending plan, a “good result for Europe and a good result for the Irish Presidency”.
