Watch online - The State We Are In, Inequality in Ireland 2023 - Report Launch

Last week TASC launched the annual inequality report. Well-attended and well-received in the media, the discussion entailed a wide range of stakeholders from trade unionists, central bankers, academics, and more. Takeaways from the report are that though inequality has declined over the past three or so decades, it has increased most recently. Inflation, moreover, has impacted those with the least means the most. The report cautions against reducing taxation, among other proposals.  Watch the recording on our YouTube channel
