Fiscal Policy
Dail Éireann — 2025-12-09
============================================================

Naoise Ó Cearúil (FF), Kildare North

In September, the Tánaiste's predecessor published the Future Forty report. In what way will the findings of this report shape Ireland's fiscal policy in the coming years, particularly when it comes to demographic change and global trends? I am sure the Tánaiste is aware that a quarter of the population by 2060 will be over the age of 65, the Tánaiste and myself included, believe it or not. That will have a significant impact on State finances.
