Today, Michael Noonan and Brendan Howlin stood before the Dáil and presented their Budget 2016 plan.
Termed as the giveaway budget, it was a budget that was described by Ivan Yates as having something for "everyone in the audience."
However, not all of the audience was particularly delighted with the propositions.
@colmtobin still no tax on people who walk slowly on footpaths in large groups

@colmtobin Disappointed there wasn't a personal budget for everyone in the country! Sesame St said we were all different/unique 😞

@colmtobin Still no guidance on whether or not amortisation of my superpowers over 20 years gives rise to tax deductible expense.

#Budget2016 - it's like someone smashing everything you own, then handing you back the pieces 4 years later and demanding you say thanks.
