Budget 2012 is the first Budget of the new Fine Gael/Labour government. It has the difficult task of taking €3.8 billion out of the economy in 2012, whilst at the same time supporting the creation of jobs and growing the economy. This will be achieved through €2.2 billion in cuts in public spending and raising €1.6 billion in extra taxes. The government has indicated that this is the first budget in a four year path to Ireland’s recovery.
