On Tuesday afternoon, Minister for Finance Paschal Donohue announced the details of Budget 2019 in Dáil Éireann.

While there’s always plenty of interest in how the budget will affect things like the price of cigarettes and alcohol, social welfare etc., the main thing people want to know is how they’re going to be affected in their own pockets.
Thanks to the folks at
