BUDGET 2019 WAS put forward by the government as an effort to deliver a balanced Budget, give something back to low and middle earners in Ireland, and shore up Ireland’s fiscal defences against Brexit.
For many, it didn’t land quite like that. Tax breaks for landlords, an increase in the VAT rate for the hospitality sector, and a stay in the rate of carbon tax have all been the main focal points.
It has also been branded as an election Budget.
We put the questions you had about Budget 2019 live to Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, when he spoke to us in TheJournal.ie offices this morning.

Ireland always seems to do well internationally with short films.
Fairplay on the nomination and best of luck, hopefully it wins overall.
Oh my.
Ireland is famous for its short story writers. It is now famous for its short films
Maybe we are too lazy to make a full length film
Made any films Brian??
I agree. If we had more money we’d probably be making oscar longlisted features too
I heard this on the radio this morning and without knowing anything about it thought “thats George Takei”. Great voice talent, such a distinctive and smooth voice. Best of luck to all involved in the project. heres hoping for anothe Oscar for Ireland.
Anybody know where to find the full version online?
You can’t upload your film online or else it get’s disqualified from Oscar consideration. It will probably go up sometime next year
