The upcoming budget will again stretch public finances and increase the economy's vulnerability. Growing fears about economic fragility heighten scrutiny of spending priorities and fiscal buffers. The Government provides whereyourmoneygoes.gov.ie as an online tool to show detailed public spending allocations. Colourful, easy-to-follow graphics display shares of taxpayer money directed to areas such as health and housing. The platform improves transparency and enables citizens of varying ages and backgrounds to understand budgetary allocations. Tightening fiscal space will force difficult choices across departments and require targeted measures to protect economic resilience and essential services.
