Less than 24 hours after the Minister for Finance stood up in the Dáil to give his Budget 2020 speech, Social Justice Ireland published our 24-page Budget Analysis document - available at www.socialjustice.ie. This was launched at a seminar in Buswells Hotel, and you can listen to the full audio recording as Dr. Seán Healy, Colette Bennett, Michelle Murphy and Eamon Murphy give the first full and comprehensive analysis of the Budget, including:
- What effect will the budget have on inequality?
- How is the government dealing with the housing and health crises?
- How good a job is government doing in preparing for Brexit?
- How will Ireland’s most vulnerable fare in Budget 2020?
