Public has been failed by Budget

AN ESRI report about Budget 2026 confirms everything we already knew about it.

It underlines how there was very little provision to help hard-pressed families and workers.

The ESRI estimates measures in the Budget will cut disposable incomes in average households by 2%.

At a time when many are still feeling the pressure from the rising cost of living, it is shameful so little was done to help them.
