Ireland is confident that it has enough resources in its 2021 budget to deal with the current COVID-19 surge, Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe (pictured) said on Tuesday 95 January), saying the fact that Britain and the European Union had secured a trade deal would free up some funds, writes Conor Humphries.

“The scale of the funds will be sufficient,” Donohoe told a press briefing.

Speaking at the same briefing, Public Expenditure Minister Michael McGrath said the budget provided for exceptional spending of around 12 billion euros “which gives us the firepower to support the economy over the course of 2021”.
