It follows calls from some in the independent ranks to announce new financial measures when Mr Harris takes over the Taoiseach’s office from Mr Varadkar next Tuesday.

Finance Minister Michael McGrath has ruled out the prospect of a mini budget when Simon Harris takes over as Taoiseach.

“We have the grants that are going to be paid to about 140,000 businesses over the next number of weeks. Again, that was provided for in the Budget and that will happen and be administered at the local level over the next number of weeks.” “We recognise there are cost pressures there. We will take that on board. We also have to be conscious of further decisions and further policy changes that will happen later this year and at the turn of next year, which also will have an impact on the cost base of businesses.”
