Brian Lenihan will announce this afternoon hikes of 4c on a litre of petrol and 2c on diesel, as well as cuts to dole and child benefit payments.
A 5% cut to all welfare payments, bar pensioners and the most vulnerable, will see the dole and other payments cut by around €8 or €9 a week, with child benefit being slashed by €10 a month per child, and double that for the third child.
Reform of taxes will take place, with reliefs and avoidance schemes to be closed.
Many of the lower paid, who have not had to pay tax previously, will be brought into the net gradually.
The controversial €10 air travel tax will not be scrapped, but it will be cut to just €2

Hopefully Pearce is just the first of a group of young hungry TDs-from all partys-that come through. Gotta say it's the first positive sign if seen or heard for months & has given cause for optism. Never thought I'd be saying that this evening!
