BY THIS TIME tomorrow we will know where the taxpayers’ money will be going in 2018 (and how your personal household budget will be impacted).
The details will become apparent after Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe’s Budget 2018 announcement at 1pm tomorrow in the Dáil. We will be bringing you all of the measures and changes that affect you, your family and community, along with analysis and commentary.
Then on Wednesday evening, when you’ve had time to digest the facts and figures, TheJournal.ie will host a special one-off Facebook Live with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Minister Donohoe.
Kicking off at 8pm on Wednesday from Facebook’s Dublin HQ, we will be putting some of your concerns and observations to the Taoiseach and the minister, and digging into the thinking behind the decisions made for the country and what it means for our collective future.
If you want to be part of the conversation, we will be giving TheJournal.ie audience a chance to submit questions and thoughts on an open thread going live on our site on Tuesday evening. We will also be taking some questions on Wednesday night from our Facebook followers who are watching the live chat with our political reporter Christina Finn putting those to Minister Donohoe and Taoiseach Varadkar.

another one gets off scott free.
Should he not of been questioned in west cork jimbo ?
File sent to dpp does not mean scot free it means they had not enough evidence to charge him at present.
@Peter 66, no he’s staying in his holiday home in Dublin at the moment………….. oh wait his holiday is in ???? dammit i’m confused now lol ;-)
Hang the gouger.
It’s just ridiculous/cynical at this stage. Every time there’s a pay out to Anglo bond holders they arrest someone high profile. Fill the newspapers with this rubbish for two days then let them go and no one will notice we just paid out billions on unsecured bonds
Yes I was just about to say that then seen your comment !
Exactly. Surely people have coped on by now !
If he is ever charged with the alleged offence what bets that his wigs will be off to a higher court to plead that it will be impossible for him to get a free trial and be judged by his peers due to adverse publicity……
Did he get a Garda escort from the station? If so, why and will all detainees be afforded this privilege from now on upon release?
The local gougers don’t attract that amount of press attention.
You’ll notice they’ve also erected barriers to presumably stop photographers from stomping all over the front of the station.
it’s not unusual for the gards to escort someone for their own safety.
do you think all those burly detectives escorting Larry murphy from prison were doing that as a favour ?
Not true. File to DPP
The DPP must be collecting files, in years to come one of his/her grandchildren will turn up on flog it with all the files. I wonder what the value for them will be?
Paddy power offering even money high profile arrest the day when 3.1 billion paid over on Anglo repayment
Garda escort to his car?! Prick should have been thrown out on to the road.
Don’t worry folks, there is a special spending time with the Garda bonus he now qualifies for!
Although I hope he remembered to ask them for a receipt when he was leaving the station.
The little toerag did not look to happy at all aftre his night in the cells, hopefully there will be many more to come for this little maggot, despite this coverage of the phone invoice fraud the issue is he still lied and cheated the taxpayer out of his residence funds and should be held accountable for all his thieving ways, scum like Callely are like a cancer in irish society and should be treated with the level of disrespect that they deserve,
Ivor is a scumbag……..now can we please put this to bed and move on from F.G grandstanding and go back to trying to stop F.G from making a bigger mess than they already are.
Ha what a disgusting little man. Another scumbag caught with his fingers in the biscuit tin.
Never mind this small time fraudster, wait till Bertie is in cuffs.
Small potatoes is all!
What’s the delay in going after all the Mr Charlie big potatoes??? Eh?
I reckon Ivor has been elected official scapegoat – he’s the “lamb” to the slaughter and will be prosecuted and sent down!!! They’ll use him as an excuse that “oh we did indeed prosecute – didn’t Callely go to prison for X time”…… and that’ll get wheeled out every time anyone asks about any of the bigger boys who are still living in the laps of luxury – we (rightly) complain when gov advisers are paid over the proposed salary limits but developers get 200k annually – which is away over those limits!!
All of them need to be called to account (in the courts; not in some ultra-expensive useless tribunal)
Good job Government spin doctors and PR agency!! Wheeling Callely out for a mock-up arrest on same day as latest Anglo billions!
And the boys in blue brilliantly choreographed the photographers – doubtless the media did not reward their efforts with expensive dinner vouchers.
Same as – what the hell is that Garda (E110) doing escorting that dirtbag to his car .
He ain’t a minister anymore – no chance of you getting your transfer any easier ! ! !
He’s such a prick he goes and blames a dead man for giving him the invoices in good faith, what sort of arsehole uses that as his defence?
Your ok Ivor I get one the boys to make a phone call you be there long
You spik English good no ?
many goods
it’s a pity he wasn’t there long (though I think you might have meant NOT there long) !!
Ivor good lawyer…
Paddy
Hang him high….
15 photos ??
Multiply by your favourite factor to calculate the number of expensive restaurant vouchers for the choreographing boys in blue. Sorry it was a complete co-incidence that all those photographers happened to assemble at the right place and time and NO NO NO the boys in blue do not accept expensive restaurant vouchers………
Google the Morris Tribunal website….

have your say
