In relation to the tax package in last year's budget, half of the population of workers benefitted by €870 while the other half of workers got just above €300. The Minister was out this week saying that average workers will benefit by €1,000 but he knows that the young nurse earning €37,000 did not get the €800 benefit last year. Half of workers will not get that benefit. Is somebody on €37,000 or €38,000 going to be able to bank on what he has told them, which is that they will benefit by €1,000 in this budget?
