The Government's position is that the Taoiseach will come to a conclusion as to the most likely Brexit scenario by mid-September or so. He will then advise the Minister accordingly and that will determine the shape of the budget. Can the Minister provide a sense of how different the budget will be, based on the two scenarios, one being the benign outcome of an orderly Brexit with a deal and the other being a disorderly Brexit. What would be different about the two potential budgets the Minister may introduce on 8 October?
