Fiscal watchdog says Government ‘budgeting like there’s no tomorrow’ The Government’s ‘sustainable’ spending plan includes an additional €12billion beyond the limit recommended by public expenditure officials.

OFFICALS in the DPER recommended annual growth of 5.7% for the Government's spending plan up to 2030.

Gov opted to go with an average of 6% and frontload this in 2026 and 2027.

Compared to a smooth 5.7% growth rate this amounts to an extra €12bn! 💰💰

The letter Darragh O’Brien sent to the coalition leaders stating they were on course for 40,000 homes.

This letter which I reported on a few weeks ago will dog the current government for a while longer as they struggle to shake off the accusation they didn’t mislead the electorate.

A huddle among the Opposition Business Committee members and party leaders has formed inside the chamber, as they plot their next move.

Will they go tika taka, or just launch it up to Big Duncan Smith?

If the Ceann Comhraile ever comes back into the chamber (20 mins overdue) we might find out.
