This week the Government outlined spending of €200 billion on a National Development Plan stretching over the next decade.
In parallel it also set out its stall for this year’s budget, signalling a spending and tax package of €9.5 billion.
Joining host Ciarán Hancock in studio to dissect these spending plans and tax cuts against a backdrop of a potential trade war between the US and the EU were Ellen Coyne, political correspondent of The Irish Times, Ferga Kane, EY Ireland’s strategy and transactions team lead, and Cliff Taylor of The Irish Times.
They tease out the headline numbers in the National Development Plan, the areas being targeted over the next five years, and the likely impact on future foreign investment.
