Being self-employed in Ireland has become pointless.
No increase in the earned income tax credit.
No fairness in PRSI.
No help with rising insurance, rates, or energy costs.
No support for the small shop, the tradesman, or the café owner who keeps a town alive.
This Budget gave nothing to the people who take risks, create jobs, and keep communities working.
Once again, the self-employed are left carrying the load — while the Government rewards dependency and punishes effort.
