The Minister For Public Expenditure Says New Ways Of Raising Revenues Will Have To Be Looked At Post-Covid19

Michael McGrath says there is no current plan to raise taxes

However, he added it would be 'foolish' to rule revenue-raising measures out.

He says government decisions made during the pandemic have led to a larger public service, and this will have to be paid for.

He says a longer term plan for the public finances will be outlined in April.
