Michael Lowry says he supports the measures taken in the budget.

The local independent TD says Ireland is in a much more precarious position now than could ever have been predicted going into this year.

“Employment levels were good and people had relaxed into a sense of security for the future.”

“And then along came Covid and Brexit – the double whammy has left us in a very weakened condition. I mean Covid has swept the globe leaving an economic trail of destruction everywhere so Ireland is facing a battering on both sides.”
