| Excess Ireland Is So Crass
This is Budget Week in Ireland, and on Wednesday Minister for Finance
Brian Cowen will be opening his box of goodies for the coming year.
Budget Day here used to be anticipated with trepidation, wondering what
extra taxes would be piled on us to pay the welfare bill for all the unemployed.
But not anymore.
The economy is still booming, we have almost full employment and tax
revenues are rolling in so fast that Cowen now expects to have €4billion
extra left over in this Budget to spend in the coming year.
