Budget 2009

Well its that time of year again. *cue dramatic music now*. For those of you on the interweb, interested on where’s what, who lost out, who will gain (if anybody) and how it will affect you, there are a number of sources which will be of benefit.

RTE: The State Broadcaster will be televising live from the Oireachtas, as well as providing commentary in the run up and aftermath of the event. See here for details.

The Irish Times: As usual the paper of record will be most vocal in its collation of the data as it happens. See here for more details.

For those of you wishing to get the information contemporaneously, log on to the Oireachtas’ own website and watch it in Real time. See here for details. It will open in either Realplayer or WMP.

The talk shows will be going overtime, so Matt Cooper on Today FM will be giving coverage, as well George on Newstalk as well. RTE’s Drivetime with Mary Wilson will have an extended show starting at 1.30pm. Dozens of other organizations which will be giving their opinions on the items as they are being delivered.
