‘One-off’ measures will add billions to the final spend under plans being devised by Michael McGrath and Paschal Donohoe

Cabinet will be told that the extra spending is in the context of “an economy with GDP output of nearly €600billion next year” and that it “strikes a balance between providing resources to invest in public services and supporting living standards and, on the other, not adding to inflationary pressures.”
