The Irish Budget will be held this year at the earlier time of October 14th for various reasons. In previous years, a group of us used to conduct a pre-budget submission to facilitate some debate among people working on various aspects of economics policy at postgraduate level. As with the fees debate, it makes sense to use the blog at least partly as a forum to contribute some ideas to the policy debate. The purpose of budget blog entries will be to relate the budgetary issues to the academic literature and I would discourage people from issuing political critiques or general statements of personal policy opinion. In particular, relevant articles about education, health, social welfare, cultural, security/crime and other types of spending as well as effects of taxation would be good to have out at this time
