Budget 2027

Building the capacity for Ireland’s next phase of growth

Ireland steps into Budget 2027 with notable strengths and some constraints. Housing, infrastructure, energy, skills, and cost pressures are now influencing choices for businesses, investors, and households. This Budget should prioritise action: expanding Ireland’s productive capacity, bolstering resilience, and enhancing long-term competitiveness.

Our proposals outline practical steps to support innovation, nurture Irish enterprise, draw in investment, mobilise savings, speed up housing and infrastructure projects, promote clean energy, and simplify processes for employers. The chance is here to look beyond short-term fixes and use tax and fiscal policy to help Ireland shape its next phase of sustainable growth.

Two colleagues reviewing  a proposal.

“Budget 2027 must be more than just a small step forward. While Ireland’s model is robust, it’s feeling the pressure. The real challenge is whether policy can adapt swiftly to unlock capacity, attract investment, and support a new wave of Irish growth. The decisions made in this Budget will not only influence next year’s prospects but also determine the nation’s competitiveness for the coming decade. ”
