Budget Statement 2022
Dail Éireann — 2021-10-12
============================================================

Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

For businesses looking to the future, this budget will back you.
That future, for individuals, for families and for businesses, is based on secure public finances.
We make further progress to that goal in this budget.
Over the past year and a half we made the right choices at the right times. Let us now do that again.
I am an optimist by nature. I believe that as we move out from under the dark cloud of the pandemic, there are truly exciting times ahead for this country and for its people.
Yes, there are many challenges. Yes, there are many difficulties.
However, a good journey to a better Ireland is within our grasp for 2022 and beyond.
This budget, Budget 2022, sets the course for that journey. With this, I commend this budget to the House.
