On Tuesday, Paschal Donoghue announced the details of Budget 2018, which showed Ireland's Economic Growth at 4.3% in 2017 and 3.5% next year.

The entry point to the Universal Social Charge remains at €13,000 with the 2.5% rate lowered to 2%. The ceiling for this rate has been raised from €18,772 to €19,372.

The point of entering the higher income tax rate was raised by €750 from €33,800 to €34,550 whilst a 'Rainy Day Fund' has also been created to protect the country from 'inevitable' shocks in the future.
