Budget 2018: Middle-income earners main beneficiaries in Donohoe's first outing
Rise in price of cigarettes and new sugar tax on sweetened drinks the key clawbacks
Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe delivers the 2018 budget to Dáil Éireann.
Middle-income earners and two-income families were the main, albeit modest, beneficiaries of Budget 2018 with a combination of USC cuts and a widening of the top income tax band likely to deliver an increase of just under 1 per cent in average take-home pay.
