Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We have set out our projections in the years ahead. We are able to afford a tax package of about €620 million per year and still increase public spending from €66.5 billion next year to €68.7 billion the year after to €70.8 billion the year after that, €72.6 billion the year after that and €74.6 billion the year after that. I am happy to provide those costings, which indicate how we can continue to increase public spending and also afford modest tax reductions. That is, of course, contingent on managing the economy well, managing the public finances, making sure that people have jobs to go to and doing all of the things that are fundamental to having an economy working well.
