✦AI Summary
The Irish government has announced that the 2027 budget will be the tightest in years, with limited funds available for new spending measures. Most of the projected €7 billion increase in spending will be absorbed by rising service costs, an aging population, and public sector pay deals.
There will be less cash available for new spending measures next year as Ministers face the tightest budget next October since before the Covid-19 pandemic, according to figures published by the Government on Wednesday.
