Read our privacy policy Tax cuts and child-related supports will be among the key measures unveiled in Budget 2025 amid the prospect of a winter general election in Ireland. The Fine Gael, Fianna Fail and the Green Party government is to unveil 8.3 billion euro worth of measures in the last of the coalition’s five financial packages. The government is also expected to outline how 14.1 billion euro in Apple tax revenues should be spent, which Ireland received after losing a long-running state aid case against the European Commission in September. Eight billion of the Apple tax revenue is expected to be received this year, contributing to Ireland’s total surplus of 25 billion euro in 2024, fuelled by multinationals’ corporation taxes.
