Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

Two years ago it was Covid and exceptional circumstances so there was an early budget. I am making the point that the Minister is deciding to go into the budget without sight of the crucial September tax returns, which every previous Minister for Finance has said is crucial to the input of the budget. That is fine if they want to bring it forward but let us not pretend it is because of a date clash with European Union meetings.
