ICTU has warned Govt. not to return to the ‘low tax and low spend model’.
The Tanaiste has indicated income tax will be cut in the upcoming budget.
The Irish Congress of Trade Unions says the Coalition shouldn’t go back to the old ‘low tax and low spend model’ over the next four years.
It feels Budget 2022 should focus on childcare, education, health and housing.
The Government should also look to transform the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme into a more permanent Short-Time Work Scheme modelled on similar European initiatives, ICTU says. https://t.co/44FE9W7jTs
