Financial Resolutions 2024 - Budget Statement 2025 (1 Oct 2024)

Pearse Doherty: We called on the Government to deliver 21,000 social and affordable homes in the budget and 100% redress for those living with defective blocks in Celtic tiger apartments.

Pearse Doherty: This is the last budget from this Government and like all others there will be a spending increase.
